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:

West Penn Power Sustainable Energy Fund - Docket No. M-00031715F0005.

Metropolitan Edison Company and Pennsylvania Electric Company Sustainable Energy Fund - Docket No. M-00031715F0004.

The Sustainable Energy Fund of Central Eastern Pennsylvania - Docket No. M-00031715F0003.

The Sustainable Development Fund - Managed by Reinvestment Fund at Docket No. M-00031715F0002.
