HB 2224 COULD PUT JOBS & OPPORTUNITIES
AT RISK
Pennsylvania is competing for manufacturing, data centers, energy-intensive employers, and major development projects.
When companies decide where to build or expand, they look at energy costs, reliability, and whether the state is stable enough for long-term investment.
HB 2224 sends the wrong signal. It tells employers that Pennsylvania may be making energy investment more difficult, less predictable, and more expensive.
For workers and communities, that matters. Slower projects and higher uncertainty can mean lost investment, delayed job creation, and fewer opportunities.
WHY IT MATTERS
Pennsylvania has the resources to lead, and that matters for more than energy production.
It matters for jobs, household budgets, small businesses, manufacturers, hospitals, farms, and every community that depends on reliable service.
In 2024, Pennsylvania produced far more natural gas than it consumed, giving the Commonwealth a major energy supply advantage. That advantage helps keep homes heated, businesses running, hospitals powered, farms operating, and manufacturers competitive.
HB 2224 puts that progress at risk.
Pennsylvania's energy system is part of what makes the Commonwealth competitive. It helps heat homes, keep hospitals running, power farms and schools, and support local businesses.
It also supports jobs. In 2024, Pennsylvania had more than 563,000 manufacturing jobs, and those employers count on reliable, predictable energy to stay competitive.
Pennsylvania is competing for manufacturing, data centers, energy-intensive employers, and major development projects.
Keep Pennsylvania’s Energy Advantage Strong
By creating uncertainty around future energy investment, HB 2224 could slow the upgrades Pennsylvania needs to keep energy reliable.
When those projects slow down, the work connected to them slows down too. That means fewer opportunities for workers, fewer projects for local businesses, and less confidence for employers looking to invest in Pennsylvania.
Consumers could end up paying the price through less reliable service, delayed improvements, and fewer job opportunities in their communities.
Pennsylvania should use its energy advantage to protect consumers, support workers, and keep businesses investing here.
