Wind Power in Pennsylvania,one of the major source of renewable energy,it accounts for over one third of the renewable energy production of Pennsylvania. There are more than 27 wind farms currently installed in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. These 27 farms on average could provide power for nearly 350,000 homes or 1,300 megawatts of energy. A majority of these wind farms are located in the southwest-central and northeastern regions of the state. Pennsylvania is an East Coast leader in wind energy due to its natural wind resources and governmental incentives brought on by the state. There is a lot of potential for growth within the wind power industry in Pennsylvania and the Northeast. Pennsylvania is close to several offshore sites along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
Solar power in Pennsylvania currently provides less than 1% of the state's electricity,but there are many policies in place to regulate and incentivize its use. Pennsylvania mandates the use of solar power through a renewable portfolio standard,which requires a percentage of electricity from each providers to come from solar,and net metering,which compensates small-scale solar generation through net metering. By 2021,Pennsylvania was required to have 0.5% of its electricity from solar. Their following goal is 10% by 2030. Solar power could theoretically provide over 30% of the state's electricity,but growth in solar generation has slowed due to a reduction in solar grants and the low price of solar energy credits. Efforts have also seen blowback from citizens,most notably from Mount Joy Township. Although,Pennsylvania has ruled solar as a legal use,meaning local governments can only restrict size and placement,but can't disband the projects.
