The Eastern PA Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation will host a PA Solar On Mined Lands Summit on July 19 at the Ramada Conference Center in State College from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The Statewide Summit will serve as a venue to disseminate the information compiled from the regional Focus Group Sessions, as well as a forum to present findings in the Assessment of Opportunities for Grid-Scale Solar Development on Previously Impacted Mine Lands in Pennsylvania.

This report will cover several key issues in siting solar energy facilities on mined lands--

-- Explore in-depth the different challenges associated with siting grid-scale solar development on previously mined lands,

-- Gain a better understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the different stakeholders involved in the development process,

-- Identify factors leading to successful deployments of grid-scale solar project projects in Pennsylvania and other states on previously mined lands,

-- Develop actionable recommendations to improve the processes and other factors involved in siting grid-scale solar projects on previously mined lands.
