Pennsylvania is an Energy Leader
Pennsylvania has been and must continue to be a leader in energy and innovation. The urgent need for decarbonization presents new and impactful opportunities to transform our economy, elevate industry and manufacturing, create jobs, and meet our climate ambitions. Pennsylvania must work intentionally to capitalize on these opportunities for a lower-carbon, energy-rich economy.
Energy, Data Center, and Artificial Intelligence Roadmap
Pennsylvania stands at a pivotal moment in global energy transformation, the unprecedented expansion of data centers, and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI). To capitalize on this opportunity, Team Pennsylvania released the 2025 Pennsylvania Energy, Data Centers, and Artificial Intelligence Roadmap.
The roadmap provides a coordinated framework to guide cross-industry action, positioning Pennsylvania at the forefront of this once-in-a-generation economic transformation. By harnessing energy innovation, advancements in AI integration, and meeting the growing demand for data infrastructure, the roadmap charts a path for Pennsylvania to lead the nation in powering the future, strengthening economic resilience and ensuring prosperity is broadly shared across communities.
Imagining Scenarios to 2050
Beginning in 2024, Team Pennsylvania set out to develop a new set of energy scenarios, imagining alternative futures through the year 2050.
Our 2025 scenarios—Highways, Homestead, and Fields—consider three different hypothetical, yet plausible, futures for Pennsylvania and the implications for energy over the next twenty-five years. We hope these new scenarios serve as a useful launching point to spark conversation, gain critical input, and explore possible versions of Pennsylvania’s long-term energy future.
Pennsylvania Energy Horizons Cross-Sector Collaborative
The Energy Horizons Cross-Sector Collaborative brings together diverse stakeholders across industry, government, academia, nonprofit, and labor to identify the issues we must collectively contend with and to build a more connected, statewide energy ecosystem. The work products and areas of focus are the result of collaboration, and while they reflect the broadest possible set of views, they do not imply a full endorsement by every participant of the Pennsylvania Energy Horizons Cross-Sector Collaborative.
