Project 150 – After state legislators passed a law requiring electric distribution companies (EDCs) to sign long-term contracts with renewable energy suppliers, lawmakers designated CCEF as the organization responsible for issuing requests for proposals and screening the energy suppliers who apply for contracts.

Technology Innovation Programs - CCEF's Technology Innovation Programs provide financing to help technology innovators and entrepreneurs advance development and commercialization of emerging clean energy technologies. The goal is to support growth of Connecticut's clean energy industry, resulting in job creation, reduction in clean energy costs, environmental benefits and enhanced energy security.
Affordable Housing Initiative – This initiative offers affordable housing developers a cost-effective way to incorporate solar technology into their retrofit and new construction projects.
CTCleanEnergyOptions – If you're a customer of The Connecticut Light & Power Company or The United Illuminating Company, you have the opportunity to support clean energy made from approved renewable sources such as wind and small hydro through this program developed by the Department of Public Utility Control.
