Power for Pennsylvania
Built here.

Pennsylvania’s grid is 50 years old and our homes use more power than they did a generation ago. Modernizing it means Pennsylvania jobs today and a grid our kids won’t be stuck paying for tomorrow.
The Grid our Grandparents built Is Falling Behind
Pennsylvania’s energy delivery systems are aging, overstretched, and increasingly out of sync with the demands of a modern economy or the needs of Pennsylvania families.
To remain competitive, Pennsylvania must modernize the full energy system that powers our economy.
That starts with electric transmission – the backbone of grid reliability – while also ensuring Pennsylvania continues to benefit from the generation and natural gas pipeline infrastructure that keeps energy flowing.
We won't have energy independence if we're relying on a 50-year-old power grid. The time to fix this is now. If we wait to act, we'll be passing higher costs and less reliable power on to our kids and grandkids.
