Description

As Pennsylvania stands at the center of the nation's energy economy, the decisions made today will shape our ability to attract investment, support employers, and meet growing energy demand for decades to come.

Join the Lancaster Chamber for Wake Up to the Issues: Powering Pennsylvania's Future, a timely discussion exploring the policies, market trends, and infrastructure investments shaping the Commonwealth's energy landscape. From affordability and grid reliability to permitting, generation, transmission, and economic competitiveness, energy policy is increasingly influencing where businesses invest, grow, and create jobs.

Hear from energy experts as they examine the opportunities and challenges facing Pennsylvania and what they mean for employers across Lancaster County. Whether your business is concerned about rising energy costs, expanding operations, workforce growth, or the future of the electric grid, this conversation will provide valuable insights into one of the most important policy issues facing our economy.

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with panelists during a moderated discussion and audience Q&A, leaving with a deeper understanding of how today's energy decisions will impact tomorrow's business environment.
