The Sustainable Energy Partnership of Southeast PA (Partnership) has been working together since September 2020 to explore pathways to purchase renewable energy to power county operations in Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties. In October 2023, the four counties adopted a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to form an Energy Board that will oversee the Partnership in order to achieve the following shared goals:
- Meet renewable energy targets through access to large-scale renewables with regional benefits (> 10 MWs)
- Lower energy costs and lower budget risk;
- Grow Partnership membership;
- Institutionalize and plan for ongoing energy procurement//Establish framework for ongoing energy procurement;
- Avoid overextending county resources.
