Download the webinar’s pdf slides – Renewable Energy Series – Public Private Partnerships
Aired on 8/21/2014 — The sixth webinar in SSF’s Security and Sustainability Forum’s free series on Renewable Energy on Institutional Property was held on August 21. In this session, our panel of experts delved into successful public private partnership to design, finance, construct and operate renewable energy systems as part of an organization’s overall energy management program.
Using private capital to own and operate systems on government and institutional property is an attractive model for cash-strapped entities that want the benefits of lowering energy use and reducing costs without any upfront capital. Our panel of finance and procurement experts analyzed both a recent successful PPP and a project that did not achieve financing.
