Public Benefit Fund for Energy Efficiency

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-022697

Public benefit funds (PBFs) for energy efficiency are a pool of resources used by states to invest in energy efficiency projects, and are typically created by levying a small charge on customers' electricity rates (i.e., a system benefits charge [SBC]). PBFs, also known as clean energy funds, provide an annual revenue stream to fund energy efficiency programs.
