On August 1, 2025, the Center for Public Enterprise, RMI, Milken Institute Community Infrastructure Center, and S2 Strategies hosted a webinar called “Maintaining Momentum: How States and Private Finance Can Continue to Lead on Clean Energy.”
The leadership of subnational governments, green banks, and private financing are vital to Maintaining Momentum for clean energy deployment and manufacturing in the US. This webinar can be used as a tool to support states, cities, investors, developers, utilities, and others realize America’s backlog of clean energy generation, technology and manufacturing projects.
Center for Public Enterprise, along with our partners at RMI, Milken Institute Community Infrastructure Center, and S2 Strategies discussed how states, public and private investors, and other clean energy advocates continue to lower energy prices and create high-paying jobs in a changing financing landscape. This webinar featured:
- RMI’s Maintaining Momentum resources for realizing the many valuable projects that requested $34 billion from the Carbon Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) Implementation Program, access to all 299 proposals, and tools for project sponsors and investors to finance these projects.
- Center for Public Enterprise’s best practices for state agencies to build project pipelines, structure pooled finance vehicles, and identify demand pathways for clean energy and industrial decarbonization within and across state governments.
- Milken Institute’s Community Infrastructure Center connecting project sponsors to readiness assessments, matchmaking with providers, and investors to reduce infrastructure development costs and drive capital to under-resourced communities.
- S2 Strategies’, secretariat to the U.S. Green Bank 50 (GB 50), short-term priorities for green banks in the current federal financing environment.
