Kennett Township, Pa., has adopted a resolution to transition to 100 percent clean and renewable energy.
Kennett Township has become the first township and fourth municipality in the state to make this commitment, according to the Sierra Club. The other municipalities in Pennsylvania are located in Chester County: Kennett Township joins Phoenixville, West Chester and Downingtown.
The township will completely transition to renewable electricity by 2035 and renewable energy for heat and transportation by 2050. The resolution says the best strategy for doing so will be to collaborate with other Chester County leaders and participate in wind and solar power purchase agreements.
