As the Keystone State faces rising load growth, the Pennsylvania Capital-Star reports on two proposed bills (HB 2223 and HB 2264) that would utilize advanced transmission technologies and virtual power plants to cost-effectively meet growing energy demand while increasing energy efficiency statewide. United’s Chris D’Agostino spoke to the benefits of these technologies in reducing grid strain, lowering utility bills, and making smarter use of existing nfrastructure.

Following today’s hearing on HB 2264, Advanced Energy United and Solar United Neighbors released a joint statement on legislation that would enable virtual power plants and help unlock new tools to strengthen grid reliability and manage rising electricity demand.

Pennsylvania lawmakers today introduced legislation to unlock virtual power plants (VPPs) — a proven way to keep the grid reliable while reducing costs for families and businesses.

Pennsylvania lawmakers have introduced new legislation to modernize the Commonwealth’s electric grid by requiring utilities to evaluate and deploy advanced transmission technologies when building or upgrading transmission lines.

The Center Square reports on the passage of H.R. 1 and its impacts on the clean energy industry with the phase-out of key tax incentives. While the rollback is expected to reduce job growth and stall some advanced energy projects, United’s Harry Godfrey stated that existing projects beginning construction within a year can still benefit from the credits. United’s Chris D’Agostino also emphasized that renewables are still the fastest and most cost-effective way to meet growing energy demand.
