Supporting energy legislation to promote economic growth in the clean energy sector

PennFuture is hosting a series of breakfast meetings in cities throughout Pennsylvania to discuss proposed state legislation aimed at promoting economic growth in the clean energy sector.

Specifically, the meetings will provide an opportunity to learn more about legislation being considered in Harrisburg – House Bill 80 and Senate Bill 92 – which would increase and lengthen the mandates for the purchase of renewable energy like wind and solar here in the Keystone State. These pieces of legislation, expansions of our successful 2004 renewable energy standard, will help to significantly grow the clean energy sector, create green jobs and attract new investment to the region.

Speakers will explore the economic growth potential that policies such as the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard of 2004 have already had, and what improvements to that law can have for both existing and emerging businesses. Pennsylvania is among the nation’s leaders for green job creation, and passage of HB80 is likely to result in tremendous potential for local business growth, additional green job creation, and increased investment in the state.

Speakers:

• Governor Ed Rendell
• Senator Edwin Erickson, (R) – District 26
• Representative Greg Vitali, (D) – District 166
• Jon Costanza, president, SunPower Builders
• Michael Peck, principal and founder, MAPA incorporated on behalf of Gamesa
• Jan Jarrett, president & CEO, PennFuture

Come learn about HB 80 and SB 92, and find out how you can take action to assist in the passage of these important pieces of legislation.

Space is limited. Register today.

Location: Media Mansion and Parlor Room
301 N. Jackson St
Media, PA 19063
