About the California Hub for Energy Efficiency Financing (CHEEF)

CAEATFA administers the CHEEF programs as part of a public-private partnership among state agencies and investor-owned utilities (IOUs) to help California meet its energy savings goals by increasing private investment in energy efficiency retrofits. By the authority of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), IOU ratepayer funds support administration of the CHEEF programs as well as a credit enhancement for participating finance companies.
