1. Funded projects must be related to energy conservation or carbon reduction.
2. The Energy Efficiency Reserve is intended to fund projects that would not proceed without gap financing.
3. Priority will be given to projects with the highest potential for carbon reduction. This may include projects that have a lower immediate reduction of emissions, yet strategically enable larger emissions reductions in coming years, such as electrification projects.
4. The funds can be used for enabling work that directly leads to carbon reduction projects.
