Here's a stylized depiction of how the GGRF and green banks, as sources of public finance, can support public developers.

We're hopeful that GGRF can support public-public derisking, especially for mixed-income social housing!

When I say we mapped it out, I meant it.

If GGRF awardees can help plugging these specific gaps in markets for local decarbonization, then we're quite literally in business.

There's a lot that GGRF awardees will have to do, individually and collectively, to get to that point. In particular, they'll need to do the work of building their own underwriting standards and project pipelines.

This post is a pretty short read, so go read it! The takeaway is that there's a lot that GGRF awardees can do to support public options where it matters.

advait and I just published part 3 of CPE's series on the GGRF. In our earlier discussion, we talked about what the GGRF should ideally do: set up new markets by reducing uncertainty. It's an institutional problem of making them legible.
