Leveraging Existing Policy Frameworks for Clean Energy Finance
After 15 years of innovation that was foundational to Stanford’s clean energy education, research, dialogue, and related policy work, the Steyer-Taylor Center closes its doors as its term endowment comes to an end. We remain grateful to Stanford alumni Tom Steyer and Kat Taylor for their vision in establishing the Center. Some of STC’s work lives on through the research of its former fellows and Stanford’s Sustainable Finance Initiative (SFI).
From securitizing energy efficiency retrofits to leveraging federal procurement, from unlocking capital in charitable foundations and pension funds to harnessing cheaper mechanisms to finance renewable-energy projects, the center is developing a suite of projects that could deliver cleaner and more-secure energy in less time and at less cost. Led by Dan Reicher, this group of projects will tap the input of policy, finance and industry leaders to advance new pathways to increase capital flow to clean energy.
