Request for Information | Potential State Energy Financing Institution | NC Commerce Request for Information | Potential State Energy Financing Institution Clean energy project developers: Provide input to unlock federal funds from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office The North Carolina Department of Commerce, in partnership with the North Carolina Clean Energy Fund (NCCEF) , is requesting input from clean energy project developers who are seeking financing for proposed projects which reduce carbon emissions, increase the resilience of North Carolina communities, and/or increase the resilience of the state’s energy system.
The Department has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather this input. The purpose of the RFI is to gather information on large-scale ($100M+) clean energy projects which may qualify for significant federal funding from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Loan Programs Office (LPO). The federal Loan Programs Office offers debt financing for large-scale (typically $100 million+) energy-related projects.
Through the Title 17 Clean Energy Financing Program SEFI project category , the LPO can augment states’ investments in clean energy projects to increase scale, scope and impact. RFI responses will be reviewed and evaluated on an ongoing basis. The Department will determine the appropriate time for issuing a Request for Proposals based on the information received during this open RFI.
