A new study commissioned by Pennsylvania-based renewable energy company Community Energyclaims that transitioning just 10% of the state’s electric generation to solar would “decrease the state’s wholesale electric costs by $619 million annually, while costing less than half that amount to make the transition, and would lower wholesale electric prices across the multi-state utility power grid, PJM Interconnection, by $3 billion annually.”
The transition would also create more than 65,000 jobs. E2’s new Clean Jobs report for Pennsylvaniain 2019 says there are already more than 90,000 clean energy jobs in the state.
