A sample of CEG Projects:

  • CEG has been chosen by the DOE's Solar America Initiative State Solar Technical Outreach project as one of three groups to provide solar technology information and poilicy best practices to key decision makers such as state legislators, public utility commissioners and clean energy fund administrators. See the project website at www.statesadvancingsolar.org

  • The Clean Energy Investment Working Group was formed by a committed group of institutional investors as a forum to examine opportunities and strategies for investment in clean energy and climate technologies. The working group is managed as a collaboration between Ceres' Investor Network on Climate Risk (INCR) and the Clean Energy Group (CEG).
  • CEG manages the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA), a project to coordinate the public clean energy funds of 13 states. Through CESA, CEG serves as a strategic broker to increase the quantity and quality of clean energy deals for state investment.
  • The Sustainable Energy Finance Initiative (SEFI) Public Finance Forum is a collaboration among UNEP SEFI, Basel Agency for Sustainable Energy (BASE) and CEG to foster support for public sustainable energy finance practitioners and to improve public support for clean energy and catalyze private investment in the sector.
  • International Initiative on Climate Technology Policy facilitates exchange of best practices and innovative financing mechanisms between state clean energy fund managers and their international counterparts. Building upon the successful collaborative model developed for the US state funds under the Clean Energy States Alliance, IICTP project was initiated in 2002 to develop an international infrastructure for ongoing dialogue on market-based clean energy activities that can be used by advocates in Europe and North America.
