Another great set of posts by Christian Fong (see https://lnkd.in/gCK3aAGU) discussing recent reports on how dead-beat companies shuffle off environmental liabilities using shell companies. The key point is that the DOE's Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment program now enables companies to cost-effectively finance remediation and take the high road to reinvest in the affected communities by employing strategies like Clean Repowering (see https://lnkd.in/gRWdfnHD) while increasing risk-adjusted returns for investors.

Gregory Sampson was a guest at Governor Maura Healey’s ceremonial signing of “An Act Promoting a Clean Energy Grid, Advancing Equity and Protecting Ratepayers,” codified as Chapter 239 of the Acts of 2024. The event was attended by numerous state officials, legislative leaders, industry stakeholders and members of the Governor’s appointed Commission on Energy Infrastructure Siting and Permitting. Greg has served as a member of the Siting Practitioner Advisory Group that advised the Commission on ways in which the Commonwealth can improve the process to site clean energy projects, with the goal of facilitating the work that is needed to achieve the Commonwealth’s climate goals. Among other things, the new legislation will modify Massachusetts law to streamline the permitting processes for clean energy projects. The changes were developed based on the recommendations of the Commission and the work of the advisory group. #WhatsYourNext

Ian Elkins of Global Water Intelligence (GWI) reports on Echo River Capital's Impact Report, released today. “There’s a misconception that just investing in water generally is impactful, and I don’t think that’s necessarily true,” explained Peter Yolles, managing partner at Echo River Capital. “We’re tracking what the downstream effects are, and when we do a new investment, we think about whether it will contribute to the fund’s end goal of meaningful impact.” https://lnkd.in/gsZtCXqn (The story is behind a paywall, but you get three free articles per month by registering.). #impactinvesting #waterimpact #climateimpact #watertech #water
