Sunoco Marcus Hook Natural Gas

Partner with an Energy Powerhouse

As the nation’s second-largest energy supplier, Pennsylvania isn't just a place — it's a powerhouse. Companies here count on low-cost, reliable access to electricity and natural gas within a future-focused energy ecosystem that’s surging with opportunity.

PA’s electric grid powers homes and businesses through diverse resources, from natural gas and nuclear power to wind and hydropower. We’re the country’s largest natural gas producer after Texas, prepared to fuel energy-intensive industries like heavy manufacturing and data processing. And we are invested in maintaining a strong grid. That’s why the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection awarded over $15 million in grants to electric distribution companies to enhance grid reliability and resilience.

We’ve been at the forefront of energy production for centuries, from our historic coal mines to breakthroughs in oil and nuclear power. Today, we're leading the charge in clean hydrogen technology as the only state with two federally designated Regional Clean Energy Hubs. Our abundant supply and steadfast commitment to innovation make Pennsylvania an ideal partner for businesses seeking reliable, sustainable, and competitive energy solutions.  

“We’re bullish about the region’s leadership in energy innovation and transition because we have a complete and dynamic ecosystem to support it — one grounded in innovation, brain and muscle power, STEM expertise, and world-class manufacturing capacity.”
