🎊 What an Incredible Event! 🎊 On November 20, 2024, the Resilient Energy & Infrastructure Consortium (RE&IC) hosted its most impactful roundtable yet, focusing on the $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) and its potential to revolutionize community-based climate projects. With over 40+ attendees, we explored how to supercharge distributed energy resource (DER) projects through strategic funding and partnerships. Our expert panelists—shared Impactful and actionable insights: ▪️ A detailed exploration of the GGRF’s three core programs—National Clean Investment Fund (NCIF), Clean Communities Investment Accelerator (CCIA), and Solar for All—highlighted their transformative potential to drive equitable and community-focused clean energy projects. ▪️Practical strategies were shared for leveraging GGRF to fill financing gaps, particularly in pre-development and de-risking, ensuring projects move from concept to execution seamlessly. ▪️Discussions emphasized integrating innovative funding mechanisms to attract private capital and achieve systemic market transformation. 🌍 Why This Matters The RE&IC is proud to be a driving force in connecting climate-tech pioneers, project developers, and market enablers to catalyze actionable climate solutions. Events like this one reflect the power of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and a thriving ecosystem working toward scalable, equitable energy resilience. Engagement—whether through participation, collaboration, or other avenues—helps these efforts grow and evolve to meet the challenges ahead. 🚀 Continuing the Momentum The momentum doesn’t stop here!

Equitable climate action and energy transition have an incredible head of (renewably produced) steam that will overcome the setbacks that beneficial change inevitably faces. The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) initiative and the persevering personalities putting it into practice is more compelling evidence of this unstoppable momentum. I can't thank the amazing representatives of those personalities for joining the RE&IC in its most recent roundtable and sharing their insights and inspiration.
