Webinar: Innovative financing for clean energy projects
December 8, 2025 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am
The finance landscape for clean energy projects has changed dramatically, but organizations, institutions, and businesses are still moving forward with planning (and building) clean energy projects that include clean energy technologies such as heat pumps, geothermal, solar, wind, weatherization, and beyond. What are innovative approaches to financing that can help fund these projects?
Join Fresh Energy for a virtual conversation about financing these projects with Community Reinvestment Fund, Sunrise Banks, and the Minnesota Climate Innovation Finance Authority (MnCIFA) — all financial institutions that focus on lending for clean energy projects. Tune in for a brief program and then bring your questions, projects, project ideas, and thoughts for a robust conversation and Q&A.

10 to 10:20 a.m.: Welcome, introductions, and background
10:20 to 11 a.m.: Discussion and Q&A with participants
