IDEA is pleased to introduce the US Department of Energy Loan Programs Office (LPO) to our members. We held an initial virtual meeting on October 31 to explore the objectives of LPO in providing significant loan support for clean energy projects in the United States, and specifically district energy-scale investments in excess of $100 million for public/private institutions and for private energy providers across a range of technologies designed to achieve measurable emissions reductions while producing community benefits.
IDEA will be scheduling an initial introductory webinar in the coming months to introduce the DOE LPO to our members, followed by a virtual Q & A session intended primarily for public/private institutions and another Q&A session for private sector energy developers/owner/operators.
A primary aim of DOE LPO is to accelerate and enable the retooling, repair and/or replacement of legacy infrastructure assets with more modern, technically-proven infrastructure that may not yet be at commercially-viable scale. As aggregators and integrators of innovative energy technologies, IDEA members are in a prime position to leverage expertise and cleaner solutions at a community scale.
Please visit here for more information on the DOE LPO and be on the lookout for upcoming IDEA webinars in advance of the 37th Annual Campus Energy Conference in San Francisco in February.
