PA’s energy system is getting more expensive & less reliable — families are paying the price every month
This didn’t happen by accident. Years of political delay & fossil fuel favoritism have locked in higher costs with data centers threatening to push prices even higher www.tiktok.com/t/ZThr7tm3f/

PA residents are paying more every month for electricity — and the causes are no mystery. Overreliance on costly fossil fuels and inaction in Harrisburg have pushed us into an energy affordability crisis.
Add Your Name to Support the Energy Affordability Agenda
Add your voice to show our leaders in Harrisburg that the time to address our out of control electric bills with bold, commonsense, 21st century solutions is now!

Across PA, people are paying more for electricity that’s becoming less reliable, while Harrisburg delays urgently needed reforms.
The result? Higher bills, price spikes during extreme weather, and ripple effects that drive up the cost of everything from groceries to housing.
