EPA Workshop on Innovative Use of Clean Water State Revolving Funds

Naomi facilitated a workshop for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on strategies to leverage Clean Water State Revolving Funds (SRFs) as a finance tool to support residential energy efficiency and renewable energy programs in February 2016. EPA’s purpose in hosting the meeting was to focus on the intersection of SRFs and financial markets for residential clean energy — energy efficiency and renewable energy (EE/RE) — and to identify new opportunities to use SRFs to expand EE/RE. Naomi worked closely with the EPA to develop an agenda for the day long workshop that highlighted peer innovations to spur productive large group discussions and small group workshops. This format allowed participants to identify and prioritize the opportunities they saw as most viable within the context of their expertise.
