Projects

  • From securitizing energy efficiency retrofits to leveraging federal procurement, from unlocking capital in charitable foundations and pension funds to harnessing cheaper mechanisms to finance renewable-energy projects, the center is developing a suite of projects that could deliver cleaner and more-secure energy in less time and at less cost. Led by Dan Reicher and managed by Alicia Seiger, this group of projects will tap the input of policy, finance and industry leaders to advance new pathways to increase capital flow to clean energy.

  • How can information technology be harnessed to meet critical energy goals? Led by Jonathan Koomey, this effort at the center engages with entrepreneurs, software developers, CEOs, energy experts, and policy makers to find means to unleash the power of data, technology, and innovation to help with today’s pressing energy goals.

  • The EPCF project is evaluating novel financing structures to commercialize breakthrough energy technology.  Led by Justin Bowersock, the project presents an opportunity for engineering, law, and business students to assess the key technological, regulatory and financial barriers to technology commercialization in the electric utility sector.

  • The China Project will map how countries, initially the U.S. and China, could minimize the cost of a shift to a cleaner global energy system by playing to their own economic strengths as they race to scale it up.  Among other things, the project, led by Jeffrey Ball, will analyze cross-border U.S.-China clean-energy investment and how it's changing.
