The Enquirer: To boost home-grown solar energy, Pennsylvania has built a legal wall at its border to keep out-of-state solar power from entering the state’s alternative-energy market.
Gov. Wolf on Monday lauded a change to the state’s Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act that prohibits out-of-state solar power from qualifying for renewable-energy credits. The change, included in an omnibus bill signed into law Oct. 30, is intended to lift Pennsylvania’s solar industry, and give a boost to owners of solar systems.
“We’re making sure the benefits of increased renewable jobs, a cleaner environment, and a growing renewable economy is going to be felt right here in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” Wolf said at an event Monday at a solar installation in Elizabethtown.
