PA Solar Future Goals

1. Create a sustained engagement period 2. Create a shared vision and develop an effective Solar Future plan 3. Exceed the current 2021 AEPS (0.5%) goal 4. Develop a plan an implement a strategy that aims at reaching 10%

  • f Pennsylvania’s retail electricity sales generated from in-state

solar production by 2030

  • Assume 150,000,000 MWh retail sales in PA by 2030
  • 10% goal = 15,000,000 MWh from solar
  • Capacity needed = 13,600 MW
  • Current capacity in PA ~300 MW
  • ~13,300 MW to be installed by 2030

Discussion, Share, Debate:

  • By 2030 who owns how much of the solar resources in Pennsylvania?
  • Solar integration into the PJM grid - how renewable energy impacts

electricity reliability

  • How do potential alternative rate designs impact distributed

generation?

Reports:

  • Latest VEIC modeling results based on the information gathered at the

June 8 meeting

New Ideas:

  • Identify and develop critical information for further testing and analysis
  • Develop workgroup outlines to demonstrate how your most important

pivotal factors specifically impact PA’s Solar Future.
