In the current environment, we understand the urgency to act with speed to find, vet, and fund projects in alignment with the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) funding guidelines. Our experience in credit analysis, financial structuring, and technical engineering means we are uniquely positioned to support lenders and sub-awardees in developing project and contractor pipelines.
GGRF Lender Challenges
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) recipients and sub-awardees are looking to impact climate recovery by financing energy transition projects. CDFIs and green banks face a few obstacles to a rapid and successful deployment of funds.
Technical Capacity
Lenders look to augment in-house technical expertise with energy engineering credentials when evaluating decarbonization and electrification projects.
Align Complex Financial Models with Program Goals
Community lenders sometimes need support for modeling the financial feasibility of energy projects and assessing the likelihood of meeting energy savings and emissions reduction goals.
Structures to Verify and Demonstrate Results
Structures to accurately measure, verify, and report results of energy projects are needed to demonstrate project impact to government funding sources. Lenders sometimes need additional expertise from a firm experienced in energy project development.
Coordinate with Additional Awardees and Partners
Clean energy projects often require working with multiple contractors, partners, and multiple awardees. Lenders may choose to tap the experience and expertise of advisors to help coordinate complex energy projects.
