The new Sustainable Prosperity Policy Toolbox, from the ZOE Institute, can help you identify free policy tools to overcome common barriers to energy transition project finance. The toolbox is a free resource that you can utilise to find solutions to common project financing challenges, such as high upfront costs, skills shortages, and permitting delays.
Use the toolbox to find information beyond subsidies, such as helpful advice and guidance for governance and mindset shifts. You can also use the toolbox to help design strategies to unlock private finance, ultimately accelerating the energy transition.
This toolbox aims to help address explicit business case barriers, implementation bottlenecks, semi-explicit, and implicit barriers. The toolbox allows users to filter through the tools it offers by specific investment barriers they are facing, allowing them to hone in on their individual needs.
The toolbox addresses the pattern of local and regional energy agencies often having ideas for effective energy transition projects but lacking the financial resources to put them into action. If this is a challenge that you are facing, check out the toolbox to take the next step in your project planning.
