The Clean Energy Initiative is an ongoing effort of the Clean Energy Group, E+Co. and the Reinvestment Fund to identify and examine opportunities for collaborative investment that will advance the deployment and commercialization of clean energy technologies. Numerous public and private investors have established targeted investment funds for low-carbon or clean energy technologies, but to date, there has been no effort to take a systematic approach to create new sources of such capital.
