HARRISBURG -The Pennsylvania Sustainable Energy Board (PASEB), in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC), will hold its annual meeting at 11 a.m. on March 19, in Hearing Room 1 of the Commonwealth Keystone Building in Harrisburg.

The meeting will provide updates from the regional Sustainable Energy Funds (SEFs) and update Commonwealth agencies and other interested groups on the funds' activities. Some of the projects being discussed at the meeting will include the following:

  • The Metropolitan-Edison Co. and Pennsylvania Electric Co. SEF will discuss 2025 focus areas and approved grants, in addition to outlining priorities for 2026.
  • The Sustainable Development Fund will review its activity in 2025, spotlighting expanded capital access for 2026.
  • The Regenerative Energy Initiative will present an overview of 2025 activities and highlight planned 2026 activities. The Regenerative Energy Initiative works towards moving energy utilization, generation, and storage beyond sustainability to "Energy Doing Good."
  • The West Penn Energy Fund will focus on its activities in 2025, and its anticipated efforts in 2026.

The PASEB was originally established by the Commission in 1999 to provide oversight, guidance and technical assistance to the regional sustainable energy boards that fund projects such as wind farms, solar power systems, smart thermostat programs and the construction of buildings using energy efficient technologies. On Aug. 7, 2003, the Commission issued an order further defining the role of the PASEB. That order charged the PASEB with holding an annual meeting; enhancing communications among the four funds and state agencies; and establishing bylaws and a "best business practices" model.
