Energy Education

The more knowledgeable educators and their students are, the better they will be able to deal with how society views vital energy issues. Among PPL's energy education programs are:

  • Nuclear Energy Seminar for Teachers. This program provides educators from grades K-12 with information about basic energy concepts; risks and benefits of various energy sources; the fundamentals of nuclear power; related and controversial nuclear power issues; and operation of PPL's Susquehanna nuclear plant. The course is taught using on-site facilities at the Susquehanna nuclear plant, and PPL provides resource materials and technical expertise to help teachers develop their own teaching strategies. More than 1,000 area educators have participated in the course.
     
  • E-newsletter for teachers. If you would like to be put on our e-mail list to be informed of future TEA Workshops being held at PPL preserves, e-mail pplpreserves@pplweb.com. Let us know which PPL location you visit most frequently or live closest to (Brunner Island, Holtwood, Lake Wallenpaupack, Martins Creek, Montour Preserve or Susquehanna Riverlands).
