Natural Allies for a Clean Energy Future is a national coalition dedicated to advancing practical energy solutions that reduce emissions while keeping energy affordable and reliable.
We believe Pennsylvania’s energy future depends on balance — with natural gas and renewables working together to keep families warm, businesses running, and communities thriving.
Natural gas is the backbone of Pennsylvania’s energy economy. Today, nearly 60% of the state’s electricity is generated from natural gas, and over half of Pennsylvania households rely on it as their primary source of home heating. The latest data also shows Pennsylvania’s natural gas sector supported approximately 123,000 PA jobs and contributed more than $41 billion in annual state economic activity.
From 2013 to 2023, natural gas consumption in Pennsylvania rose by 64%, driving significant climate progress. During that decade, CO₂ emissions from the state’s electric power sector fell 37% — from about 106 million metric tons to 66.5 million — largely due to the transition from coal to cleaner-burning natural gas.
Since 2019, Pennsylvania has achieved something only three states in the nation have done: cut total CO₂ emissions by 9% while increasing power generation by 12.5%. This remarkable progress is fueled by natural gas.
Natural gas also brings savings to Pennsylvania residents and businesses. In 2023, the average Pennsylvania household, natural gas saves between $1,100 and $2,200 a year on energy costs. Prices for consumers are down as much as 76% since 2008, helping families and small businesses weather economic challenges.
As the top state in the nation for electricity exports, Pennsylvania isn’t just powering itself — it’s powering America.
We advocate for unleashing the full potential of natural gas to continue driving environmental and economic progress — ensuring no household is left behind and no community has to choose between reliability and sustainability.
