Clean Energy Financing

Success in the New Energy Cities program is based on the fact that each of the components of the Action Plan represents investments that can be tied to appropriate investors. Climate Solutions provides the support and expertise necessary to create the financing tools essential for the scope and scale of work by helping a community think and operate with an investor orientation.

We help identify the critical elements of policy and institutional structure necessary to leverage large amounts of investment capital to finance improvements in building performance, infrastructure, and clean, distributed energy-producing technologies.

The Financing Plan provides the necessary capital for an aggressive approach to transforming the energy system by emphasizing the role that scale and risk management play in enabling private investment capital to participate in these activities.
