Congressman Chris Deluzio joined energy advocates, educators and local leaders for a clean energy tour on CCAC’s North Campus on Wednesday. Speakers from PennEnvironment, PennFuture, PA Solar Center, Moms Clean Air Force and Conservation Voters of PA highlighted the benefits of clean energy through the use of solar panels and electric vehicles. CCAC President Dr. Quintin Bullock outlined the school’s commitment to clean energy stating, “As CCAC’s largest completed solar energy initiative to date, this project continues to be a win for the college and the environment.” Dr. Bullock explained that the rooftop solar panels are capable of powering one third of the campus’s electric requirements and save the school an estimated $59,000 to $73,000 per year.

Congressman Deluzio greeted students and local leaders before speaking on the economic impact of solar panels and clean energy resources. Deluzio said, “this is helping to keep energy costs down, it is helping create jobs, helping protect and clean up our air. That’s a really important thing and it shows people coming together here to make these kinds of projects and policies a success.”
