We specialize in developing new ways to finance clean energy.
We specialize in developing new ways to finance clean energy. That means that we know how to bring public and private capital together in innovative ways to take advantage of the best characteristics of each. We provide advisory services on raising capital and can establish the structure of loss reserves, buy-downs, or other credit enhancement mechanisms.
HB&C designs innovative and reliable processes that make energy efficiency financially available and desirable to commercial, residential, multi-family and public customers. We offer advisory services on leveraging the right combination of public and private capital for the latest clean energy technology products. Our team has extensive experience in establishing credit-enhancing mechanisms, such as loss reserve structures, subordinated debt, equity-debt combinations or buy-downs.
We have successfully created PACE programs, on-bill financing for utilities, ESA/MESA agreements, and other green fund programs with our clients. We are eager to help you discover the newest market-ready possibilities.
HB&C knows how to design effective policy and regulation and how to evaluate its impact. We have written legislation and advised on regulation for energy finance, renewable energy, alternative fuel vehicles, and electricity regulation. We have codified best practices and metrics for clean energy finance by developing local- and state-level policies and regulations across the United States and Puerto Rico, and we have created the institutional mechanisms to implement them.
HB&C also conducts detailed analyses of the effectiveness of policies and regulations. We stay up-to-date with the latest industry possibilities, and our expert knowledge of the market for green development guides our policy development.
HB&C conducts policy and market research, offering the results of this research to clients through seminars and other training sessions. We have evaluated state-specific efficiency finance needs for commercial and residential efficiency and renewable energy programs.
We conduct regional and national studies of finance programs across all the major energy using sectors, presenting the results of these studies for our clients’ confidential use or for broad dissemination to the public.
HB&C can help you bring your financial product to market. We have extensive experience providing guidance on product development, market assessment, deployment strategies and support to successfully launch products at the intersection of clean energy and finance.
We develop and evaluate financial packages that support energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. HB&C has a strong and diverse network of public and private sector capital providers willing to fund clean energy development and energy savings. We advise governments, utilities and their DSM implementers, and others on the best combination of public and private funding sources, offering tools to drive customer participation and integrate seamlessly with rebate and incentive programs. Our team is also proud to offer brokerage services ourselves through our sister company: HBC Energy Capital.
