Greenhouse gas initiative debate continues

It has been just over a year since Andrew G. Place made his final remarks as a member of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, completing a five-year term. His seat on the five-member panel has been vacant ever since — and may remain that way as long as Gov. Tom Wolf continues his bid to bring the Keystone State into the Northeast Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, effective at the end of this year. RGGI is a compact in which participating states would impose a carbon fee on electricity production and require fossil fuel generation to purchase allowances. Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia have agreed to cap and reduce power sector carbon dioxide emissions.

The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority plans to use the $32 million in additional revenue from a proposed 17% increase in rates to pay for continued improvements to the water system. “As a publicly owned and controlled utility, every dollar we receive from our customers is invested back into your water systems,” PWSA CEO Will Pickering said in a statement. “Our water infrastructure was built at the turn of the 20th century and has served us well. It is now time to rebuild our system for the next one hundred years so we can provide the quality water services that Pittsburgh expects and deserves.”
