🌱 HASI and KKR $2 billion investment commitment.
Here's what it means for ESG:
💡 HASI (Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital) and KKR's venture, CarbonCount Holdings 1 LLC (CCH1), is set to be the new driving force in advancing clean energy assets. Their focus is sharp – targeting everything from community solar to energy storage and from renewable natural gas to cleaner transport solutions.
⚡ This move isn't just about throwing money at a problem; it's about smart investing. HASI's proprietary CarbonCount tool will scrutinize each potential investment for its carbon emission reduction efficiency – because effectiveness matters.
🤝 Partnering with KKR, HASI is not just leveraging a pool of experience and investment history that has already funnelled over $15 billion in similar ventures. This is not just another drop in the ocean; it's a strategic move by seasoned players who know how to make waves, and it's a move that should inspire confidence in our collective ability to drive change.
📊 The implications? Quite substantial. Given the infrastructural investment gap and the exigency of climate action, such collaborations are not just timely but needed. They spotlight a growing confidence in sustainability as a core of strategic investment and business practices.
But there's more at play here—a future where community-level initiatives and large-scale infrastructure developments work together to address climate change. This integrated approach could set a precedent for subsequent investments in the sector.
