Description (excerpt):
Governors can effectively advance their energy policy goals — such as system modernization, reliability, cost reductions or addressing resource adequacy — by leveraging innovative state funding and financing mechanisms alongside federal programs and funding opportunities and private-sector investment. By creating tailored financing mechanisms that reduce barriers for investments, establishing state-level green banks and state energy financing institutions (SEFIs), and incentivizing private-sector investment, Governors can expertly leverage private and household investments to address the energy needs of their states and territories.
