The Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office (LPO) offers low-cost debt financing for high-impact, large-scale energy infrastructure projects in the United States. Through the State Energy Financing Institutions (SEFIs) program, the LPO can support clean energy projects using commercially available technologies like wind and solar. This new authority, bolstered with funds from the Inflation Reduction Act, opens up billions of federal dollars to state energy offices, green banks, and other public financing organizations that qualify as SEFIs. Join this webinar to learn how to work with a SEFI to qualify your project for LPO financing, best practices, and more!
