Philadelphia begins powering City Hall and the airport by a solar array 100 miles away
APRIL 29, 2024
Philadelphia has begun pulling large amounts of power for city-owned buildings from a solar array on farmland near Gettysburg.
The project, begun nearly six years ago under former Mayor Jim Kenney, started producing electricity specifically for the city a few weeks ago in Adams County after testing was complete. It is expected to provide up to 25% of power consumed by municipal buildings, including City Hall, Philadelphia International Airport, and the Water Department.
