BPA has issued $76 million in green-certified revenue bonds to fund key transmission projects. These projects will enhance grid reliability, support electrification, and connect new carbon-free energy resources in the Pacific Northwest. “These green certified bonds are attractive to investors looking to fund projects that are helping to address the impacts of climate change,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Marcus Harris. “Anything we can do to lower interest costs for ratepayers is worth pursuing, and this green bond certification is no exception.” The bonds are certified green by the Climate Bonds Standard Board. https://lnkd.in/gmdB_uB2 #CleanEnergy #CleanEnergyFuture #GreenBonds #RenewableEnergy

Bill Green Founder and Managing Partner at Climate Adaptive Infrastructure , recently spoke with Saijel Kishan of Bloomberg News to discuss the recent sell-off in green stocks and challenge the misconception, fueled by recent headlines, that the energy transition is slowing. “Public markets are notoriously fickle and have, in our view, overreacted to rising interest rates and supply chain challenges,” commented Green. CAI remains committed to addressing the climate crisis through infrastructure projects that decarbonize our energy, water and urban infrastructure systems from the outset. Our portfolio includes pioneers like Intersect Power and Rye Development, who, along with other clean energy companies, are at the forefront of advancing clean energy technology.

Tenant Representation | Lease Negotiation | Economic Incentives Negotiation | Real Estate Optimization
The call for environmental responsibility in large-scale buildings is growing louder by the day. With the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Treasury Department unveiling proposals that require public companies to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and climate risk data, the corporate world is under heightened scrutiny. Simultaneously, initiatives like Commercial Property-Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) Financing and the emergence of "Green Banks" are providing the much-needed financial boost for environmental retrofits. Moreover, the Inflation Reduction Act has committed over $50 billion to support green technologies that can reduce energy costs, promote renewable energy sources, and offer tax incentives for groundbreaking technologies. #CRE #Green #Office #TenantTips #CorporateRealEstate #GreenOffice #CPACE https://hubs.li/Q025rjh10

Reminder to get your ideas into the Minnesota Green Bank by Friday's RFI deadline. No idea too big, no idea too small-- this is the first step for building out MnCIFA's project pipeline!
The Minnesota Climate Innovation Finance Authority (MnCIFA) issued its first Request for Information (RFI) seeking input on clean energy initiatives, including those that will serve historically underserved populations to accelerate the adoption of proven clean energy technology and greenhouse gas reduction projects. “MnCIFA will help meet the goals of Minnesota’s Climate Action Framework and become a national leader in clean energy funding. This new way of financing clean energy projects for historically underserved communities is an important goal to build an equitable clean energy future,” said Commerce Commissioner Grace Arnold. Watch the webinar below to learn more about applying. Additionally, the RFI is available to view and download on the Minnesota Department of Commerce RFP website now through the submission deadline of March 15, 2024. https://lnkd.in/gPGsynTA

If you work in an energy-intensive industry you may be faced with the challenge of rising energy costs! So what support is available for energy-intensive industries? 👇 - Climate Change Agreement (CCA): Businesses with a CCA can receive a discount on the Climate Change Levy (CCL). CCAs are voluntary agreements between businesses and the Environment Agency to reduce energy usage and carbon emissions. Meeting targets results in a CCL discount on bills. - British Industry Supercharger (BIS): The BIS aims to help energy-intensive industries stay competitive by reducing electricity costs by £20/MWh by 2025. - Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF): This fund supports energy-intensive businesses in reducing consumption through investments in energy-efficient measures and low-carbon technologies. - Energy Intensive Industries Compensation Scheme (EII Compensation Scheme): Designed to counteract increased costs from carbon pricing and emissions trading schemes. Discover how these initiatives can help reduce your energy bills and keep your business competitive in a changing landscape: https://zurl.co/Ofds #EnergySupport #energyintensiveindustries #energymanagement #Sustainability

Utility policy plays a pivotal role in the pursuit of climate goals and the transition from a fossil fuel-based economy to a #cleanenergy economy. By creating and implementing effective utility policies, legislators can help steer the energy industry away from fossil fuels and towards cleaner, more sustainable practices.

Relentless optimist + partner specializing in energy and environmental litigation at ArentFox Schiff
"Decarbonization" is a big buzz word now in #environmentallaw and #esg as we look to sources beyond fossil-fuel generation to work on #climatemetrics. In the post linked below, Devin Ross and I summarize a recent settlement in Berkeley, California's "gas ban" case; what "decarbonization" means; what commercial and residential buildings can do to decarbonize; and tools local governments are deploying (e.g. building code revisions; incentives) to compel them to do so. Check it out!

The SEC has voted 3 to 2 to finalize its climate disclosure rules for public companies. When the SEC released proposed rules two years ago, legal challenges followed and went as far as the U.S. Supreme Court, which ultimately questioned the agency’s authority. So the SEC has dropped the Scope 3 greenhouse gas emission disclosure and modified the Scope 1 and 2 disclosures. The final version also narrows financial statement requirements by eliminating a financial metrics disclosure. However, public companies will still be required to disclose capitalized costs, expenditures expensed and losses related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits.

Last week CMI lodged its submission on the LFG Options Paper. In the context of still-nascent complementary policy and regulatory drivers for methane abatement, we highlight that the LFG methods play a vital role in delivering additional abatement through investable market-based incentives for emissions avoidance and reduction activities. Our six recommendations take a principles-based, outcomes-focused and holistic approach to how these methods should be revised to support high-integrity outcomes.
