The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection on July 10 issued a draft plan to advance in-state solar development, with a goal for the renewable power source to supply 10 percent of the state’s electricity by 2030. The state would have to install about 11 gigawatts of solar capacity to reach the target, up from the current level of 300 megawatts. The plan seeks to raise the solar requirement under the state’s alternative portfolio standard for 2030 by 4 percent to 8 percent. It calls for strategies to facilitate customer access to capital, including loan guarantees, carbon pricing, uniform siting policies, and tax exemptions that favor solar deployment. Comments on the draft are due by Aug. 20, and the final plan will be released in December.
