Pennsylvania Expands Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards

Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell signed House Bill 1203 on August 24, 2007. This bill: 1) requires installation of 850 MW of solar power by 2020; 2) adds solar thermal to the list of Tier I renewable resources; 3) ensures that generators will own Renewable Energy Credits unless they expressly sell these to third parties; and, 4) clarifies that Pennsylvania utilities must purchase renewable energy produced within Pennsylvania to satisfy their alternative energy purchasing requirements.
