Philadelphia Energy Authority

The Philadelphia Energy Authority is an independent municipal authority focused on issues of energy affordability and sustainability for Philadelphia’s government and its citizens. Established in 2010 through the leadership of Council President and the Mayor, PEA seeks systemic solutions to our energy challenges, supporting the work of a robust community of energy experts, advocates, and champions citywide. PEA develops long-term energy projects, policies, and programs on the behalf of the City of Philadelphia.In 2016 PEA launched the Philadelphia Energy Campaign, a $1 billion investment over 10 years in energy efficiency and clean energy projects, to create 10,000 jobs. The Campaign focuses on four key sectors: municipal assets, schools, affordable housing, and small businesses. In 2019, PEA added the commercial and industrial sectors to that list, leveraged by new financing mechanisms and City incentives.
