This report on United States renewable energy finance policy is the result of extensive research, outreach, and analysis conducted over the last three years. It identifies federal and state government policies that could promote efficient private sector capital formation and investment in the renewable energy industry.
Findings include:

- This success was enabled by the alignment of federal, state, and private effort.
- Further scale up requires cost-effective policies that can drive low-cost private investment.
