Sustainable Energy Fund (SEF) is an independent, nonprofit 501(c)(3) that assists energy users in overcoming educational, financial, and regulatory barriers to a sustainable energy future. SEF aims to create a future where energy is harvested, converted, distributed, and utilized in a manner that allows all to meet their energy needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Sustainable Energy Fund

Since 1999, Sustainable Energy Fund has worked diligently to build a sustainable energy future for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Sustainable Energy Fund was founded through a settlement approved by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission during the Commonwealth’s electric deregulation proceedings. 

Our mission is to:
promote, research and invest in clean and renewable energy technologies, energy conservation, energy efficiency and sustainable energy enterprises that provide opportunities and benefits for PPL Electric ratepayers.

Sustainable Energy Fund achieves its mission by assisting energy users in overcoming financial, educational and regulatory barriers to a sustainable energy future. We do this by:
•	financing energy conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy projects;
•	educating the leaders of today and tomorrow to create a passion for sustainable energy;
•	representing the interests of energy conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy in proceedings before the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.

Did you know?

We constructed the first net-zero building in the Lehigh Valley to serve as a model for a regenerative energy future. Using a cost-effective approach to renewable energy and energy efficiency, we were able to equalize our energy consumption with our solar energy generation. We hope that our building will illustrate the potential for a more sustainable and energy-efficient building sector.

💡 Energy Findings Friday!

 One of the lowest-hanging fruits when it comes to energy efficiency is to install LED lighting. Compared to other lighting alternatives, not only do LEDs use less energy for the same light output but also last for a longer period of time. 

The average household can save up to $225 per year when switching to LEDs. 

Consider replacing your T12s, T8s, T5s, and incandescent lights today!

💡 Energy Findings Friday!

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, in 2020, 21.56 million homes had air conditioning equipment that was 15 years or older. 

If you live in one of these homes, it may be time to replace your system with a more efficient one. This will save you money on your energy bills and provide a better indoor environment.
