Innovation, Renewable Energy, and State Investment: Case Studies of Leading Clean Energy Funds.

DE2003807421

Publication Date	2002
Personal Author	Wiser, R.; Bolinger, M.; Milford, L.; Porter, K.; Clark, R.
Page Count	148
Abstract	Over the last several years, many U.S. states have established clean energy funds to help support the growth of renewable energy markets. Most often funded by system-benefits charges (SBC), the 15 states that have established such funds are slated to collect nearly $3.5 billion from 1998 to 2012 for renewable energy investments. These clean energy funds are expected to have a sizable impact on the energy future of the states in which the funds are being collected and used. For many of the organizations tapped to administer these funds, however, this is a relatively new role that presents the challenge of using public funds in the most effective and innovative fashion possible. Fortunately, each state is not alone in its efforts; many other U.S. states and a number of countries are undertaking similar efforts.
