“这些新项目创造更多就业机会,能有助于开发太阳能科技,并让它让更多的人支付得起”,Burke说 联邦财政局通过了这些项目。
“这意味着用于家庭,企业,学校的能源将大量节省,可以让更多的直辖市使用清洁和利用可再生能源技术。”
Pennsylvania is expanding its commitment to advancing clean, solar energy with the investment of $18 million in 37 projects in 16 counties, Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Austin Burke said.
"These new projects are creating jobs while helping to make the development and deployment of solar technology more affordable," Burke said after the projects were approved by the Commonwealth Financing Authority.
"Ultimately, this means substantial energy savings for families, businesses, schools and municipalities that use clean, renewable technologies."
The 37 projects, approved through the state's solar energy program, are in Adams, Allegheny, Beaver, Berks, Bucks, Chester, Cumberland, Franklin, Lancaster, Lawrence, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia, Schuylkill and York counties. They are expected to leverage nearly $88 million in private investments.
The solar projects will have an installed capacity of more than 24 megawatts and will generate at least 26,600 megawatt hours of electricity annually, or enough to power approximately 2,700 Pennsylvania homes.
In addition to generating 26,600 solar renewable energy credits a year, the systems will annually save $5.2 million during each of the next 20 years.
