Clean Energy Lending Toolkit

The Clean Energy Lending Toolkit is aimed at helping financial institutions gain a greater understanding of clean energy market opportunities, systems, and products needed for effective lending in this sector to consumers, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), energy service companies (ESCOs), and project implementers. The toolkit describes processes, procedures, formats and case studies to help the financial industry (1) determine the profitability and viability of CE lending to consumers, SMEs, ESCOs, and project implementers; (2) conduct an audit of internal capabilities and needs to successfully serve this market; (3) create credit products and processes for lending to CE companies; and (4) understand how others have started or expanded CE lending.
