Financing the Energy Transition
JFI’s Financing the Energy Transition Initiative addresses a question fundamental to building a greener future: how do we shape markets for various energy projects to incentivize the private sector to come online in force?
Our team of data analysts and energy markets experts leverages particularized financial modeling analysis as well as larger-scale market simulation to understand the structure of, and the possibilities within, the energy transition.
WORK WITH US
We offer three capacities to policy and private finance partners: we conduct financial and levelized cost analyses of green energy technologies; we conduct regular surveys of investor sentiment analysis by sector; and we’ve built a first-of-its-kind agent-based model, Impulse, to evaluate the effect of public policy and concessionary credit on the propensity of private energy investors to invest in energy technology to clear thresholds of large-scale commercial viability.
