Public benefit funds for clean energy supply

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-022698

Public benefits funds (PBFs), or clean energy funds, are typically created by levying a small fee or surcharge on electricity rates paid by customers (i.e., system benefits charge [SBC]). The resulting funds can be used to support clean energy supply (i.e., renewable energy and combined heat and power [CHP]).
