creating jobs

Statewide, the number of clean energy jobs already outpaces the number of fossil fuel jobs.

Improving public health

In public buildings, schools, homes and businesses, clean and efficient energy is a vehicle for improving the health of our communities.

The Philadelphia Energy Authority, through the leadership and support of City Council President Darrell Clarke, launched the Philadelphia Energy Campaign in February 2016 to create jobs, strengthen communities, cut energy bills and reduce Philadelphia’s carbon footprint. The Campaign will leverage $1 billion in public and private financing to invest in clean energy and energy efficiency projects in four key sectors. Learn more
