Clean Energy Investment Fund
The shift to clean energy will yield a tremendous boost to the economy in the form of jobs, businesses, investments and energy cost savings. We can gain those benefits more quickly by offering financial incentives for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and infrastructure for the Clean Energy Economy.
The Clean Energy Investment Fund would provide a local mechanism to collect funds and distribute incentive payments for efficiency upgrades and renewable energy projects.
Offering incentives, rebates or low-interest loans to buy down a portion of the initial costs moves the tipping point closer for owners weighing the value and affordability of a project.
Incentives will also make the partnership’s programs and policies more effective, accelerate the region’s transition to clean energy and help communities meet their climate protection and energy security goals.
