Hearing Held on Alternative Energy Investment Act

The Senate Special Session Committee on Energy Policies, chaired by Sen. Mary Jo White (R-Venango), held a public hearing today on legislation that would invest $530 million over the next seven years in consumer energy programs, energy conservation, and the development of alternative and renewable energy. 

Special Session Senate Bill 1, the Alternative Energy Investment Act, was introduced by Sen. White and Sen. Tommy. Tomlinson (R-Bucks). The measure provides funding for grants and loans to projects geared at improving energy supply and efficiency, increasing conservation and reducing demand for energy – with no tax increases.

The hearing featured testimony from alternative energy producers, the Secretary of Community and Economic Development, and others.
