SUMMARY:BayREN TDS Training: Public Sector Energy Financing 101 for Finance Staff – Part 1
DESCRIPTION:This introductory session is the first in a two-part training series designed to give public sector finance and capital projects staff a clear\, practical understanding of today’s most effective energy project financing strategies. The training covers traditional options – such as bonds\, leases\, and loans – as well as specialized mechanisms like on-bill financing\, energy savings performance contracts\, and efficiency-as-a-service. Participants will learn about the benefits and tradeoffs of each financing tool and how to navigate common challenges. The training also introduces key concepts like energy savings projections\, operations and maintenance considerations\, and performance risk. A subsequent session on July 29 will feature practical case studies demonstrating how the financing mechanisms introduced in Part 1 are being applied to drive successful public sector energy projects across California.
