Short history	The Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) was founded in 1998 to support watershed restoration programs and develop new sources of renewable energy. Funding for these efforts has been provided in a way that would be called unusual for most foundations. BEF, a not-for-profit organization, markets green power products to public utilities, businesses, government agencies and individuals.
Philosophy	The Bonneville Environmental Foundation is a charitable and nonprofit public benefit corporation dedicated to encouraging and funding projects that develop and/or apply clean, environmentally preferred renewable power and acquire, maintain, preserve, restore and/or sustain fish and wildlife habitat within the Pacific Northwest.
Form/features	BEF's "Green Tags" is a certificate product.
Sources	99%+ wind, up to 1% solar, in WA, OR and WY.
New	All BEF products support new renewable energy generation, whether wind, solar or other future projects.
Availability	Green Tags are available at all times to all purchasers.
Product certifications	BEF "Green Tags" certificates are Green-e certified. However, the reseller in Maine, Maine Interfaith Power & Light, is not Green-e certified.
Emissions rates	BEF Green Tags are themselves zero-emission. In addition, by virtue of their grid location, BEF's projects help offset CO₂ emissions in areas otherwise heavily dependent upon coal.
Other benefits	In addition to the public health and social benefits from zero-emission wind generation, wind turbines use less than 5% of the land area for electricity generation than do other generation facilities. This small "footprint" allows more productive land to be used for other purposes (e.g., farming, recreation, etc.).
Price per block	$20
Price per kWh	2 cents/kWh.
Billing options	BEF Green Tags are available in Maine for purchase by check through Maine Interfaith Power & Light.
Notable contract terms	None.
Special features	Purchasers of Green Tags through Maine Interfaith Power & Light may be eligible for a tax deduction.
