Pennsylvania currently hosts 46 active utility-scale solar farms with a combined capacity of 562 MW. The state is set for substantial growth with 9 solar farms under construction, 20 planned projects, and 480 queued initiatives, capacity increase of over 11 GW. Additionally, 22 site control farms could add 211 MW upon completion. If all projects are completed, Pennsylvania’s solar capacity could see an 11 GW boost. The average solar farm in the state covers 218 acres and can produce 12.2 MW of electricity under optimal conditions. This growth presents substantial opportunities for solar developers and investors, as outlined in a recent white paper that details Pennsylvania’s solar development and strategic potential.
