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, access to 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. NYSERDA recently was recognized by LPO as a SEFI.
In this webinar hosted by the Clean Energy States Alliance, speakers from NYSERDA and LPO will explain how New York is taking advantage of LPO’s new expanded Title 17 loan authority and how other states can reach similar agreements with LPO and access federal funding for clean energy projects.
