This paper identifies several financing strategies at the state and municipal level that can be adapted and implemented to accelerate the clean energy finance revolution in other states and cities, and at the federal level.
By adopting appropriate incentives, definitions and safeguards, states could use their existing RPSs to support increased energy resiliency at critical facilities, while simultaneously promoting the increased deployment of clean energy resources.
The ‘Morris Model,’ named for a financing structure originated in Morris County, New Jersey, leverages bond financing to achieve relatively low cost capital for renewable energy.

The objective of the Clean Energy + Bond Finance Initiative (CE+BFI) is to define and implement a new role for development finance in clean energy federalism, a potential game changer for scaling up clean energy capital in the country.
State clean energy funds have emerged as effective tools that states can use to accelerate the development of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
This document provides the context and describes some of the challenges that currently face the financing of large‐scale renewable energy deployments.
Based on lessons learned from nine case studies of existing international public- and private-sector technology and market development collaborations, the paper presents core principles and three options for a climate innovation initiative.
This report recommends several novel energy strategies to advance emerging clean energy technologies that do not require major new federal legislation or more federal funding.
This report shows that successful climate technology innovation may come from where we least expect it – not from the private sector alone or from developed countries – but from emerging markets in developing economies.
