Credit Anne Danahy / StateImpact Pennsylvania Pennsylvania’s targets for renewable energy are set to max out this year unless the General Assembly takes action, and Republican leaders seem ready to leave increasing goals for green energy up to the private sector. The state’s Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards require utilities to buy certain amounts of power from renewable sources. For example, utilities now have to get 8% of their power from “Tier 1” energy sources like wind and solar. House Democratic leader Joanna McClinton said her party would like to gradually raise those standards and tap into the growing green energy job market.
