RGGI Investment Act
This week, Senator Comitta and state Rep. Dianne Herrin, introduced Senate Bill 15 and House Bill 1565, which would disperse proceeds generated from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). Specifically, it would make targeted investments to support workers and communities affected by energy transition, invest in environmental justice communities, and further strengthen Pennsylvania’s growing clean energy and commercial and industrial sectors.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is currently taking steps through the regulatory process to participate in RGGI, a market-based collaboration among nearly a dozen Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change while generating economic growth.
