Community Energy Project says PCEF grants are achieving climate goals and helping vulnerable communities

It’s been five years since the Portland Clean Energy Fund, or PCEF, gave out its first grants. The fund has grown much more than expected, and various interests have proposed using some of it for non-climate goals. Community Energy Project is among the local groups that helped create PCEF after voters passed the ballot measure in 2018.

Jim Plantico shares more about the program, what the money is being spent on more broadly and the specific projects that CEP has implemented with PCEF grants.
