How do we make America’s green bank a success?
The on-the-ground realities of deploying the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF)
America’s green banks and local lenders are preparing to unleash a wave of capital for clean energy projects nationwide. The $27 billion deployed under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) is expected to drive $150 billion to underserved communities and small businesses for solar, storage, efficiency, and electric transportation.
How can we deploy those billions quickly, efficiently, and with the highest impact?
The money has been allocated, and expectations are high. Now comes the next phase: getting state agencies and community lenders comfortable with funding a wide range of projects. The local institutions at the front lines of the GGRF must gear up quickly to handle the money, assess projects, and finance them in a replicable way.
In this Frontier Forum, we are exploring the next critical phase for the GGRF. Where are the bottlenecks? How do we balance speed with high standards in reporting, communication, and documentation? And can America’s green bank live up to the expectations of both local communities and Wall Street?
This Frontier Forum is 60 minutes.
