Recommendation

With alternative energy becoming more competitive relative to conventional energy, the main hurdles to widespread adoption of renewables are their upfront costs. At the same time, investors are clamoring for alternative fixed-income investment possibilities. Experts at the Brookings-Rockefeller Project on State and Metropolitan Innovation say that, with some initiative and innovation, these two complementary needs can satisfy each other for the benefit of all. getAbstract suggests this report’s useful approaches to green development to financiers and energy policy makers.

Take-Aways

  • Subsidies for green energy initiatives are waning in the United States.
  • State and local finance departments, with their experience in issuing municipal bonds, could help to deliver funding for new clean energy projects.
  • Authorities responsible for setting up green initiatives and finance officials, working together with ratings agencies and investors, can develop new funding models. Several states and communities have already adopted new approaches to finance clean energy.
