Chamber’s Nuclear Generation Working Principles:

The Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce recognizes the challenges of our nuclear electricity generation plants throughout the Commonwealth and the role they play in a comprehensive electricity generation strategy.

We believe nuclear energy must continue to be a viable, alternative energy source, therefore we support the following:
· That a diverse mix of generation fuels is the best strategy for our Commonwealth and the PJM Interconnection service area.
· Keeping electricity costs competitive to assist in economic development. As a net exporter of electricity Pennsylvania attracts business due to low energy rates.
· PJM market mechanisms that would better compensate nuclear generation for the value it provides in being reliable and carbon free.
· Full transparency from nuclear generation plants on re-investment, safety and profitability.
