PennFuture and its Center for Energy, Enterprise and the Environment work with a collaboration of energy providers, policy makers, environmental activists, local communities and consumers to create the best possible scenario for the new energy future.
PennFuture works on a variety of issues from providing technical assistance to developers of renewable energy projects to assuring the proper implementation of Pennsylvania’s new Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act. We are speeding Pennsylvania’s transition from an outmoded energy model that pollutes the environment and drains natural resources, to one that is clean and renewable.
The Center for Energy, Enterprise and the Environment develops new business models and key collaborations to move technology to reality. Wind developments, large and small, have been helped by the Center’s business acumen and willingness to engage elected officials and their constituents. The Center has worked to bring new technologies to farms and cities, expanding the availability and feasibility of renewable energy development.
