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.
Pennsylvania Nuclear Energy Roadmap
Pennsylvania is at a defining moment. Electricity demand is rising after decades of stability. Artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing are reshaping the economy. At the same time, nuclear energy is returning as a central solution for reliable and carbon-free power. Together, these forces create a narrow window for states that are ready to act.
Pennsylvania enters this moment with one of the most complete nuclear ecosystems in the United States. The commonwealth does not need to build an industry from scratch. It already operates one of the largest nuclear fleets in the country. It already supports a mature supply chain that serves projects across the nation. It already anchors research and talent through world-class universities and federal infrastructure. Pennsylvania’s advantage is not any single asset. It is the ability to integrate generation, manufacturing, research, and demand within one coordinated system.
The opportunity now is to convert that foundation into sustained leadership.
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.
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.
