NPR's StateImpact, a project giving attention to localized news, released word in early June of Pennsylvania's behind-the-times approach to solar.
Reporter Susan Phillips notes that the market research firm Clean Edge listed Pennsylvania outside of the top 20 states as a leader in clean energy.
Thankfully, State Representative Chris Ross from GP.Energy's own Chester County brought a bill to the table that would require utility companies to bump up the number of SRECs they purchase, with exclusivity to Pennsylvania.
The Corbett Administration is currently against this bill, which is at a standstill in committee. But with Ross' push in this development, the silver lining still has potential.
This article demonstrates just how crucial the SREC market is to the renewable energy industry. It not only helps green businesses to grow but helps consumers to achieve much quicker payback on their solar energy systems.
