(MS Teams Live; Registration not required)
Under the Title 17 Clean Energy Financing Program, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office (LPO) can provide loan guarantees for projects that support clean energy deployment. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grants certain clean energy projects supported by State Energy Financing Institutions (SEFIs), including those using commercially available technologies like wind and solar, eligibility for LPO financing. This new authority, bolstered with funds from the Inflation Reduction Act, opens up billions of federal dollars to state energy offices, green banks, and other public financing organizations that qualify as SEFIs.
In this webinar, LPO will discuss its process for working with SEFIs and how it determines meaningful financial support from a SEFI for program eligibility. Additionally, SEFI leaders will discuss how they are building out their programs.
