Critical Commentary

This opinion piece highlights the region's, and PECO's, lack of longterm sustainability plan. The authors also note that PECO's five-year plan for electricity purchase doubles down on old fossil-fuel models that continue to harm public health and exacerbate structural racism. Neighboring states including Maryland and New Jersey, by contrast, have invested substantially more in renewable energy.

I think this is a good piece to include in this month's brief because it continues to provide perspective on PECO as a major player in the regional energy ecology. It's authors are also from several local organizations that campaign for green jobs and sustainable energy.
