SR 295 Pennsylvania Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

A Resolution directing the Joint State Government Commission, along with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, the Department of Community and Economic Development and the Department of Environmental Protection, to conduct an assessment and develop recommendations with the intention of establishing a comprehensive State energy strategy for this Commonwealth.

This Senate Resolution directs several state agencies to study Pennsylvania's energy situation and create a plan for a comprehensive state energy strategy. The study will examine issues like electricity reliability, the risks of retiring power plants, and whether Pennsylvania should stay in or leave the regional power market known as PJM. Agencies are also asked to review current energy laws, look at new technologies like nuclear reactors and hydrogen, and consult with experts before submitting their findings to state leaders within one year.
