The Citizens Energy Council is a coalition of neighbors, landowners, and local leaders who believe responsible energy development means a stronger future for Western Pennsylvania.
OUR VALUES
REAL JOBS,
REAL WAGES:
Gas development in PA supports over 120,000 family-sustaining jobs averaging nearly $100,00 a year. That number matters here.
YOUR COMMUNITY COMES FIRST:
Through Pennsylvania’s impact fee, energy development has returned nearly $3 billion to communities since 2012 — for roads, first responders, parks, and infrastructure.
NEIGHBORS,
NOT OUTSIDERS:
CEC is made up of people who live and work here. We believe residents deserve facts, not fear, and a seat at the table.
Your Voice Matters.
