Energy Consumption by End-Use Sector – Comparing PA to United States Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration Pennsylvania United States
7
TRUE or FALSE? “The world’s electricity consumption is predicted to increase by 50% by 2030.” ELECTRICITY
8
The world’s electricity consumption will continue to increase dramatically due to: – increased world population. – increased demand in the U.S. and other developed countries. – increased demand from developing countries, such as China and India.

Pennsylvania Energy Facts Pennsylvania is one of the top coal-consuming States in the Nation. Pennsylvania’s coal has dominated the State’s power generation market, typically accounting for more than one-half of net electricity production, but this has been changing over the past few years.

Note the change in primary fuel usage in PA over the past few years!

24
Pennsylvania Energy Facts Northeastern Pennsylvania’s coal region holds the Nation’s largest remaining reserves of anthracite coal, a type of coal that burns cleanly with little soot.
25
Pennsylvania Energy Facts Pennsylvania’s electricity markets also rely substantially on nuclear power, and the State ranks second in the Nation after Illinois in nuclear generating capacity. (Pennsylvania generated 44 percent of its net electricity from coal and 33 percent from nuclear power in 2011.) Pennsylvania’s 5 operating nuclear plants have supplied slightly more than 1/3 of State electricity generation in recent years.
26
Pennsylvania Energy Facts Natural gas (38 %) provides heat to more Pennsylvania homes than any other fuel, but… electricity (29%) fuel oil (20%) and propane (9%) …are also widely used in the state. Renewable energy accounted for 3.3% of PA’s net electricity generation.
27
Pennsylvania Energy Facts Marcellus shale is in five states: Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, West Virginia and Maryland The Marcellus formation is thought to be the second largest natural gas field in the world. It is located about one mile below the surface. More than 450,000 wells have been drilled in the Appalachian Basin over the last 150 years and they have produced “only” 47 TCF, less than 10% of the projected production from the Marcellus
28
Pennsylvania is among the largest users of municipal solid waste and landfill gas for electricity generation and produces substantial hydroelectric power. The State also produces a small amount of energy from wind. Pennsylvania Energy Facts

Pennsylvania Energy Facts There are currently more than 412 solar companies in Pennsylvania, employing 4,000. In 2012, Pennsylvania installed 54 MW of solar electric capacity, ranking it 11th nationally. The 214 MW of solar energy currently installed in Pennsylvania ranks the state 9th in the country in installed solar capacity. There is enough solar energy installed in the state to power 23,600 homes. Average installed residential and commercial photovoltaic system prices in Pennsylvania have fallen by 28% in the last year. National prices have also dropped steadily— by 11% from last year and 34% from 2010.

The KEEP Program PA Department of Environmental Protection is excited to help your school team to: Teach students about energy. Develop an active school energy team. Save electricity. Use the Energy Star Portfolio Manager to record your savings. The PA DEP staff and the Kids Get It staff is available to guide you through your process learning, saving and documenting your energy program. –KEEP@energy-workshops.orgKEEP@energy-workshops.org –412.431.1010
