of the electricity used in the Keystone State comes from natural gas-fired power plants, so when natural gas prices go up, so do electric bills.
Electricity from utility-scale solar is typically selling for between
$15
and
$30 per megawatt-hour
(MWh), while electricity from gas and coal is now well over $60 per MWh.
the fact that Pennsylvania is a substantial natural gas producer does not affect the price here, as the gas prices are set by the global market.
electricity generated with solar and wind is
often cheaper
than electricity generated with natural gas or coal. Electricity from utility-scale solar is typically selling for between
$15
and
$30 per megawatt-hour
(MWh), while electricity from gas and coal is now well over $60 per MWh.
Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)
, which Pennsylvania officially linked to on July 1. The RGGI is a cap-and-trade system across 12 Northeastern states that puts a price on carbon emitted by their electric power plants.
For every $1 raised through RGGI and invested in energy efficiency or other programs in 2020, RGGI is producing
$10 in energy bill savings
.
Prices in RGGI states have
fallen 5.7%
while prices increased 8.6% in the rest of the country.
