Connecticut city issues clean energy RFI
The city of Stamford, Connecticut, and the Connecticut Green Bank have issued a request for information seeking partners on projects that align with clean energy and climate resiliency goals. EY is advising.
The RFI invites responses from developers, financers, institutions, businesses, community-based organisations and others that are interested in projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, decrease waste, grow the green economy, increase resiliency and advance environmental justice. Stamford and the Green Bank aim to identify opportunities for public-private partnerships to finance and deploy clean energy, building decarbonisation, zero-emission transport and climate resilient projects.
Project proposals that may seek financing from Green Bank programmes and offerings are encouraged. Priority categories for projects include distributed energy generation in the form of solar and storage; net-zero emission buildings; and zero-emission transport. Funding sources could include any combination of owner/developer equity contributions, tax credit financing, state and local grant funding and commercially available senior and mezzanine debt financing, according to the RFI. Responses are due by December 2.
