RI Infrastructure Bank CEO Jeffrey
Diehl recently joined economic development experts from across New England to
participate in a panel that discussed accelerating clean energy investment
through the Green Bank Model.
Diehl joined panelists Bert Hunter
(CIO, Connecticut Green Bank) and Brian McCarter (CEO, Sustainable Real Estate
Solutions) at the Council of Development Finance Agencies New England Financing
Roundtable in Boston to discuss the Infrastructure Bank’s experience and
successes bringing energy efficiency and renewable energy projects to all
corners of Rhode Island. The panel also explored the successes and challenges
of the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program and ways to leverage the
program to increase investment in clean energy projects.
As federal and state
funding for clean energy infrastructure holds constant or declines, Green Banks
are closing the gaps for clean energy projects and facilitating finance
opportunities to reach more communities. These new finance strategies are
boosting economic development in New England, and helping to strengthen its
infrastructure.
