Bonneville Environmental Foundation

Bonneville Environmental Foundation

The Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) is a non-profit organization that markets green power products to public utilities, businesses, government agencies and individuals. It was founded in 1998 to support watershed restoration programs and develop new sources of renewable energy. What began as a partnership with the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has expanded to include other suppliers and markets.

During 2000, BEF developed its Green Tags product, in recognition of the demand for renewable energy in places where utilities do not offer that choice. Green tags represent the environmental benefits that occur when clean, new renewable energy is substituted for power that is produced by burning fossil fuel. Revenues that are generated selling Green Tags are reinvested in new forms of renewable energy.
