Commercial-scale clean energy projects, such as solar + storage microgrids and community solar installations, can avoid most permitting and interconnection challenges that often delay larger projects. This market segment is primed for expansion and can help mitigate the impact of rising electricity demand and energy prices. With IOF support, our grantees are helping to grow this nascent market by:
- Attracting new capital to spur a robust pipeline of community-serving projects that appeal to larger institutional investors.
- Expanding the public sector’s deployment of clean energy technologies.
