WASHINGTON—Today, the Coalition for Green Capital (CGC) announces the launch of its first open Request for Investment Proposals (“RFP 1”), constituting the first step in securing a financing agreement with CGC. This open solicitation allows clean energy developers, commercial partners, community lenders, and financial investors—including private credit and equity firms—to submit investment proposals for qualified projects located in the United States. CGC is looking to build partnerships and support investments that can accelerate U.S. clean power projects, create jobs, lower energy costs, and improve the quality of life for all Americans.
CGC is accepting proposals in four priority categories: Distributed Energy Generation and Storage; Net-Zero Emissions Buildings; Zero Emissions Transportation; and Other Project types, such as grid-related investments, clean water infrastructure, and other projects with demonstrable climate, equity, and capital mobilization benefits. CGC will support these projects through various types of investments, including debt instruments, credit enhancements, equity investments, and loan purchases, among other financing approaches.
Through RFP 1, CGC will identify high-impact projects and build strong public-private partnerships throughout the country. By harnessing private investment and efficiently recycling capital, CGC expects to mobilize approximately $16.1 billion in private capital within two years and drive between $45 billion and $69 billion in private investment over seven years.
RFP 1 is available on CGC’s website at the following link: Investment Opportunities – Coalition for Green Capital. Once developers, investors, and project partners submit a proposal, CGC will evaluate the submission and contact the submitting team for further conversations.
CGC’s Chief Executive Officer Reed Hundt said, “We are eager to attract private investment to assure clean air, clean water, and cheap clean power in every state in the United States”
CGC’s Chief Impact Officer Jessie Buendia said, “Today’s announcement brings us one step closer to saving Americans money and improving health outcomes. Every community deserves access to low energy costs, clean air, and water. We’re excited to solicit more proposals to ensure we can help partners across the country implement this shared vision.”
CGC’s Chief Investment Officer Alfred Griffin said, “We’re excited to work with clean energy developers, commercial partners, community lenders, and financial investors, including private credit and private equity firms, who are eager to create a healthier future for their communities. By investing in qualified projects across our four priority categories, CGC is helping cause significant amounts of private capital toward investments that will produce meaningful change for millions of Americans.”
