Currently, Pennsylvania is home to 46 active utility-scale solar energy facilities, delivering a combined capacity of 562 MW.
However, the white paper emphasizes the state's vast potential for growth, with nine projects under construction and an additional 20 solar energy facilities planned.
In total, there are 480 queued projects, accompanied by 22 sites lease for solar energy that could collectively contribute over an additional 11,000 MW upon completion.
If all projects transition to operational status, Pennsylvania will witness a 11 GW surge in solar energy capacity.
The analysis also notes that the average utility-scale solar energy in the state spans 218 acres and can produce 12.2 MW of electricity under optimal conditions.
These findings underscore the significant opportunities for solar developers, investors, and energy industry professionals to engage with Pennsylvania's burgeoning solar sector.
The white paper provides a detailed roadmap of the state's current and projected solar initiatives, offering insights into strategic investment opportunities and sustainable growth.
LandGate invites stakeholders to explore the full white paper, which includes a detailed breakdown of the data and strategic recommendations for maximizing engagement in Pennsylvania's solar expansion.
