This project aims to identify market and policy solutions that will dramatically increase the flow of private capital into renewable energy infrastructure. Simultaneously, the project aims to optimize and sustain over the long term the appropriate public finance mechanisms to support renewable energy infrastructure, including both taxpayer and ratepayer funds. These public finance mechanisms will be designed as either a complement to, or substitute for, the current state and federal programs anchored in tax credits, subsidies, direct grants and contracts. We anticipate that this project will proceed in phases over an extended period, beginning with an initial strategic survey, followed by multiple, more detailed analyses of specific options. Our objectives are two-fold: to contribute to the development of a new national framework for the financing of renewables at scale, and to identify a pilot-testable fund models to accelerate private capital formation in support of public policy initiatives.
