Rendell's Energy-Saving Plans
Governor Ed Rendell today announced a number of initiatives the commonwealth will immediately make to reduce energy use, stimulate the renewable energy sector and cut costs.
“Rising energy prices affect every customer, including state government,” Governor Rendell said. “We need to make immediate, sweeping adjustments to the way state government operates to counter escalating gas prices and rising energy prices.
“The steps I am announcing today will reduce our environmental impact by using less energy, and helping to grow our renewable energy sector by purchasing more clean, renewable energy,” he said.
“I want all residents to have the tools they need to combat rising energy costs,” Governor Rendell said. “That’s why I have been encouraging the General Assembly for 18 months to pass the Energy Independence Strategy to protect consumers from the financial hardships of higher energy costs.”
An extensive energy reduction and conservation initiative in state office buildings that Governor Rendell called for in 2004 has reduced energy consumption by 10 percent annually.
“My goal is to have the commonwealth reduce its energy consumption by an additional 10 percent by the end of 2010,” Governor Rendell said. “Cutting energy consumption by 20 percent in just eight years is a very ambitious goal, but one that we can achieve by implementing these initiatives.”
