The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) on Tuesday published a draft plan to expand in-state solar resources, with a goal of supplying 10 percent of the state’s electric retail sales by 2030.
The draft, “Finding Pennsylvania’s Solar Future,” includes 15 recommended strategies to meet the goal and estimates 11 gigawatts of solar energy capacity will be needed.
A final plan will be published in December and comments are due by Aug. 20.
