Sustainable Energy Fund
Four funds were created as a result of the restructuring plans of five electric
companies. The funds are designed to promote the development of sustainable and
renewable energy programs and clean-air technologies on both a regional and statewide
basis. The funds have provided more than $20 million in loans and $1.8 million in
grants to over 100 projects. A Statewide Sustainable Energy Board was formed in
1999 to enhance communications among the four funds and state agencies. The board
includes representatives from the Commission; the Department of Environmental Protection;
the Department of Community and Economic Development; the Office of Consumer Advocate;
the Pennsylvania Environmental Council; and each regional board.
The four renewable and sustainable energy funds include:
