Public space is crucial for our communities. Since taking office, I've helped bring in over $3.6 million to revitalize parks, rec centers, school courtyards, and more. This week, I'm happy to announce SPRING, my initiative to bring more state dollars back to the district.
The House Energy Committee and House Democrats have a comprehensive plan to address and reverse the energy crisis that the PUC warned about in September. We need more energy generation, a more efficient grid, and modern infrastructure to meet peak demand.
Bill sponsors and advocates will gather in the Capitol on Monday to discuss this package and how policy can help us solve this crisis. The livestream will be available here: youtube.com/live/4eSpTD7mIvo
When you pay for electricity each month, the price should be for the true cost of energy, not extra profits for the megarich.
Last week, I gathered my colleagues in the House to renew our commitment to the Energy Affordability package, which on the whole could save households hundreds of dollars on their utility bills each year.

“Batteries can store electricity when it’s plentiful and cheap, and then deploy it when demand is high and electricity is most expensive. That makes our grid more reliable and reduces costs for ratepayers.” - @PaHouseDems Rep. Rivera

You've just gotten the baby to sleep while the older kids watch their favorite show on low volume, when suddenly - 🔊BOOM! - the super loud audio from an ad disrupts everything. That's not just a small annoyance - it's an unfair business practice that disrupts our lives!
Today, House Democrats gathered in the Capitol to renew our commitment to the Energy Affordability package we first shared in April. These bills would protect consumers by reining in corporate greed, improving grid efficiency, and regulating data centers. pahouse.com/Fiedler/InTheNew…
Last month, Pennsylvania got a dire warning about our energy future, with the PUC expecting drastic grid failures by 2030. I called a hearing in the House Energy Committee to better understand this report and hear recommendations from industry experts.

Philly @RepFiedler said this powerful statement, referring to a potential Pennsylvania #DigitalAdTax: "Our state desperately needs revenue to maintain funding for essential public services and deal with Trump’s cuts to programs like SNAP and Medicaid." bit.ly/3TsXK9b

When working people pay the same taxes as billionaires, that's not "fairness" - it's elites exploiting a broken system. This week, @RepCephas and I introduced a bill to repeal the most outdated and regressive tax policy in PA: the uniformity clause.

It was my honor to join @SenatorSaval to present the Garces Family Foundation with a state grant check for $122,000. This award will support the foundation’s English language training and workforce development initiatives for Philly’s immigrant population.
While Trump caters to Big Tech, it's up to states to act on AI and data centers. I spoke with Joel D. Smith on @FaceTheStatePA to share what we're doing in the PA House Energy Committee and beyond to make sure families and working people are protected from Big Tech's overreach.
We don't know if AI spells the end of humanity, but we know this: the Pennsylvania PUC just last week warned of massive blackouts by 2030 if we don't rein in the energy demand from data centers. See the full interview at: youtube.com/watch?t=503&v=W0…
Over the last 10 years, the Philadelphia Energy Campaign from @philaenergy has meant $2.4 billion of economic impact across PA, 11,000+ new jobs created in Philly, and $1.4 billion+ in energy savings for the City and our residents. Congrats to PEA on this milestone!
The Philadelphia Energy Campaign set out to demonstrate that a #cleanenergy economy could make life more affordable, boost economic opportunities, create healthier communities. Today we're celebrating a decade of accomplishments. This is energy that moves #Philadelphia forward.
Congrats to Allegheny Valley School District on today's news of their Solar for Schools award! The project is estimated to save over $80,000 a year - those energy savings can be used for teacher salaries, classroom materials, facility upgrades, and more.

The PUC issued a dire warning this morning about the outlook of PA's energy future. As Chair of the House Energy Committee, I propose a new vision: more renewables, a modernized grid, investment in battery storage, & efficiency measures to manage demand. My full statement below:
Yesterday, the PA House of Reps gathered in Philadelphia for a special session at Congress Hall to honor America's 250th - of course I wouldn't pass up a chance to use SEPTA to get there!
Wonderful new from Cambria Heights School District, whose #SolarforSchools arrays are already generating 90% of their buildings' energy this school year!
