New Session: Evolving Microgrid Financing Options
This new panel session next Wednesday at the 4th Microgrid Global Innovation Forum examines the status and future of commercial financing for microgrids. Panelists will compare microgrids to other alternative energy and smart grid investments, and discuss emerging approaches to mobilizing private capital for microgrids. Cross-cutting effects of federal infrastructure and energy policy on the prospects for microgrid finance will be examined, as well as matching the uses of microgrids with financing sources -- including Pentagon, State Green Bank and UN Initiatives.
