With Elizabethtown College’s large solar array as a
backdrop, Gov. Tom Wolf on Monday called new state legislation designed to
boost renewable solar energy a “game-changer.”
Last week, Wolf signed into law changes to the state’s
Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards, which since 2005 have required an increasing
percentage of electricity used in Pennsylvania to be produced from alternative
energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, biofuels and methane captured from
landfills.
