Since its inception, PCEF has been incredibly successful in investing in clean energy and many other projects for our communities.

For over 45 years, CEP has been helping Oregonians weatherize and update their homes to be energy efficient. Importantly, CEP does much of its work thanks to PCEF grants.

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.
