The Energy Project Benefits Database is a project of CA FWD and the UC Berkeley Possibility Lab that includes 328 project benefits agreements from across the energy supply chain, from mining to manufacturing to energy generation, and across global geographies.
Each agreement establishes specific commitments between developers and impacted communities, workers, or governments, outlining the distribution of social, economic, and/or environmental benefits generated by the project.
Commitments can take many forms and should be determined based on identified community priorities and project characteristics. The database includes different types of agreements, such as Community Benefits Agreements (CBAs), Host Community Agreements, Neutrality and Workforce Development Agreements, Community Benefits Plans, and more. Some of these represent enforceable contracts, while others are simply public commitments. The database was published with information available in the summer of 2025.
