Saying that Pennsylvania “loses” Governor Josh Shapiro Today he called Commonwealth to make it more competitive, presenting his “lightning plan” to secure the future of the energy of the state.
“Pennsylvania, it’s time for us to be more competitive, it’s time for us to act, we must now take a few large and decisive steps, build new sources of power, so that Pennsylvania does not miss,” Shapiro said in News News Conference at the International Airport in Pittsburgh.
The Democrats’ plan will ensure financing fresh projects through updated economic development in Pennsylvania for the developing tax relief for the economy (EDGE), improve the approval of energy projects, creating a state -owned energy plate in order to reduce bureaucracy and encourage the community to reduce media bills via public public utility Energy resources. In addition, the plan increases discounts on energy -saving devices to reduce household energy costs.
“Pennsylvania has long been a national energy leader, from Ben Franklin to today, but now we allow other countries to withdraw us and lose their jobs, new investments and innovations – which must change,” he said that he must change, “he said that he must have change, “said Shapiro.
“My energy plan fed ahead, encouraging to build new generation energy projects in the community. We must meet this moment – and this plan is based on the work, which my administration has carried out last year to gather leaders from the energy industry, organized working and environmental groups and consumer supporters to develop a plan for the future. I am looking forward to cooperation with the General Assembly in order to obtain this healthy reason for reason to my desk, so that we can reduce costs for consumers, create more jobs and set a community to continue to be the national energy leader for decades. “
“Plan of Błyskawica” has been designed to aid energy projects in creating and approving faster than before through several initiatives, including:
- Pennsylvania, a reliable board based on energy and electrical passage (reset) in order to accelerate permits, reduce bureaucracy and support the next generation of energy projects in this state. The community is currently one of only 12 states without a state entity to support the location of decisions regarding key energy projects.
- The budget proposed by the governor for 2025–26 will include key modifications of the tax credit to reference the tax loan program in Pennsylvania for the growing economy (Pa Edge), providing tax breaks on reliable energy investments, regional hydrogen projects and sustainable air fuel.
- The Act on the establishment of the CAP-And Invest program in order to determine the carbon dioxide emission limit in Pennsylvania and investing in reducing electricity costs. Pacer – the Act on reducing climate emission in Pennsylvania – would return 70 percent of revenues generated to Pennsylvania as discounts on electricity bills.
- The budget proposal, to aid rural communities, farmers and low -income pensylvanians to share energy resources to reduce costs.
- And the Act on reforming 129, the law, which provides discounts and incentives to buy fresh energy -saving devices and other ways of limiting the demand for electricity in time – which in turn leads to lower electricity prices. The governor’s proposal will update these energy efficiency standards for the first time for almost two decades.
“Governor and I want us to build our energy heritage and use it to power a better future for Pennsylvania,” he said Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis. “Our administration cooperates with our friends at work, as well as with the business community, environmental supporters and consumer supporters. We want to gather selected leaders at federal, state and local level, and we hope that people have removed their red and blue T -shirts and put on Pennsylvania’s shirts. Because the future of our community of nations is threatened. This is the arms race of our lives and we have to win – that’s why our lightning plan is so important. “
