The temperature isn’t the only thing increasing this summer. You have probably noticed that your electricity bill has gone up by an uncomfortable amount. With the help of Jordan Energy, we can help lower your business’s monthly expenses through on-site solar and energy storage.
For the past sixteen years, Jordan Energy has been developing solar projects with a strong focus on helping customers install solar and maximize savings through every available incentive. We’ve secured over $25 million in incentives for our customers to support their solar projects.
Now, with the launch of the RISE PA program, Reducing Industrial Sector Emissions in Pennsylvania, manufacturers across the state have an unprecedented opportunity to go solar, cut energy costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
With up to $396 million in total funding available, RISE PA offers grants covering up to 50% of solar installation costs for manufacturing facilities. When combined with the 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), Pennsylvania’s Renewable Energy Program, MACRS depreciation, long-term utility savings, and other grant opportunities, many solar installations pay for themselves in just one to two years, ensuring you have decades of future cost savings.
Pennsylvania plays a critical role in shaping the national energy landscape. But even with its energy-rich status, the state isn’t immune to rising costs. This June, utilities like PPL Electric Utilities raised their “Price to Compare” (PTC) by 16 percent, while PECO customers saw increases of up to 12.6 percent. Electricity prices in the U.S. have surged by 13% between 2022 and 2025, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)—a pace that not only outstrips inflation, but also signals deeper structural shifts in the energy economy. This isn’t just a temporary spike; it’s part of a broader trend driven by rising demand, infrastructure strain, and evolving energy policy.
In the face of these challenges, there are real opportunities for businesses and communities to take control of their energy future. One promising path forward is through state and federal incentive programs. The Reducing Industrial Sector Emissions in Pennsylvania (RISE PA) program, for instance, is a $396 million statewide grant funded by the EPA. It supports decarbonization projects at industrial facilities, including investments in emissions reduction technologies and energy efficiency upgrades.
Jordan Energy is excited to join as a new Chamber of Commerce member, offering complimentary solar consultations, leading grant writing support, and top-tier solar and energy storage development services. Call us today at 518-225-9071 to discover how we can help you save more on your solar and energy storage project.
The energy landscape is shifting rapidly. Staying informed and taking advantage of available incentives like RISE PA and REAP can help you manage rising costs and invest in long-term solutions. Whether through solar, efficiency upgrades, or strategic planning, clean energy isn’t just a climate solution—it’s a financial one too.
