About NCEF
The Nevada Clean Energy Fund (NCEF) is a nonprofit organization that provides financial and technical resources to Nevadans to accelerate clean energy growth in the state, reduce energy costs, create jobs, and meaningfully address climate change. NCEF works with communities, local businesses, schools, governments, Tribes, utilities, contractors, lenders, and others to increase access to clean energy opportunities such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, electric vehicles, and energy storage.
NCEF was created in 2017 by state legislation to serve as Nevada's green bank. Green Banks address clean energy market gaps and financial barriers, with a particular focus on historically underserved communities.
