The Public Utility Commission held a technical conference this week to hear comments on the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards that was co-chaired by Chairman Wendell Holland and DEP Secretary Kathleen McGinty.

The Standards require 18 percent of the electricity sold to retail customers in Pennsylvania come from specified, eligible alternative energy sources in 15 years or that electricity usage be offset through demand-side management measures. The PUC and DEP share responsibility for implementing the new law.

The PUC received comments from 34 groups and organizations which are available through the Public Documents search page on the PUC’s website. Search for Docket No. M-00051865.
