As clean energy deployment grows, small-scale and community infrastructure projects remain stuck in a maze of fragmented, complex financing approaches. Standardization could transform this critical segment of the clean energy market – creating the efficiency needed to mobilize capital at scale, drive investment to underserved communities, and dramatically accelerate distributed energy projects.
Clean energy project developers have struggled with bespoke financing approaches for decades, but how is this moment different? With public funding catalyzing private investment, digital technologies enabling collaboration, and renewables poised for scale, standardization may finally be ready. The reality is stark: distributed energy infrastructure will not reach scale without better project development standards.
In this live, virtual event, Latitude Media’s Stephen Lacey will be joined by Amanda Li, COO of Banyan Infrastructure, and Rachel Halfaker, Director at the Milken Institute, to unpack this critical challenge.
We’ll explore how standardization bridges crucial gaps that enable project developers to:
- Build trust between local communities and incoming developers and financiers
- Connect public, private, and philanthropic capital with different risk appetites
- Link smaller financiers to institutional capital at scale
Join us for this podcast-style conversation to understand how technology-enabled standardization could help unleash billions for clean energy development, specifically in communities historically overlooked by traditional finance.
