Green project financing and incentives are an untapped resource for capital improvement projects. ThinkForward often works with our clients to procure energy-related funding, grants, direct rebates, and tax credits, including the latest federal resources available through the Inflation Reduction Act.
We begin by evaluating your sustainability goals and financial modeling, which leads to recommendations for pursuing both local and national energy funding and incentives. Significantly, we will illustrate specifically how these enhancements financially work and fit into your capital stack.
ThinkForward can propose strategies for managing the performance risk of energy assets, effectively ensuring that energy savings will materialize for your project.
In addition to outlining eligibility and compliance requirements for each selected funding opportunity, we determine what exactly will be your return on “green” investment, or your Energy ROI.
For example, accurately calculating investment returns involves the cost of equipment relative to the benefit of incentive and energy savings. We also evaluate the ROI from specific green technologies and sustainability strategies.
Whether economic development is local, social work, or green, the “certainty” of achieving the incentives must be carefully evaluated. To that end, we offer our clients recommendations for the incentives’ inclusion into the formal underwriting for financing closing or for holding the incentives as a future hedge to reduce a deferred development fee.
