To attract private investment, Pa. must step up renewable energy goals | Letter Updated Feb 22, 2021; Posted Feb 22, 2021 A 2.76-megawatt solar panel installation in Van Buren, New York, helps provide enough power to the Anheuser-Busch brewery in nearby Baldwinsville to make 3 million cases of beer each year.Don Cazentre file photo | For syracuse.com Facebook Share In his Feb. 3 article, “A realistic climate agenda for Pennsylvania,” state Rep. Greg Vitali made a compelling case for what Pennsylvania should do this year to address climate change. I would add that a fully comprehensive climate agenda must include a robust renewable energy sector. Pennsylvania’s current Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard (AEPS) goals require a paltry 8% of electricity come from renewable sources, with 0.5% from in-state solar by May 2021. These numbers are meager compared to Pennsylvania’s neighboring states.
