Time: 1-2pm EDT
In this webinar, the Brookings Institution, Clean Energy Group (CEG) and the Council of Development Finance Agencies (CDFA) will discuss their upcoming paper, “Clean Energy Finance through the Bond Market: A New Option for Progress.”
State and local bond finance represents a powerful but underutilized tool for future clean energy investment. For 100 years, the nation’s state and local infrastructure finance agencies have issued trillions of dollars’ worth of public finance bonds to fund the construction of the nation’s roads, bridges, hospitals, and other infrastructure—and literally built America. Now, as clean energy subsidies from Washington dwindle, these agencies are increasingly willing to finance those projects, if only the clean energy community embraces them.
Guest speakers from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority of Ohio will present updates from their own innovative clean energy bond financing programs. An audience Q&A will follow these presentations.
