How do you pay for your microgrid? How do you position your microgrid project for financing? In this video, we look at both project and customer financing, including optimizing your capital stack, maximizing tax equity opportunities and also know their limits, and how to choose a financing partner. We’ll also discuss energy-as-a-service (EaaS), which is a financing approach growing rapidly in popularity because it requires no capital investment by the microgrid customer.

This session is moderated by Elisa Wood, Editor in Chief of Microgrid Knowledge.

Featured speakers include:

Matthew Walters, Head, Distributed Energy Systems (Americas), Siemens

Kristel Watson, Chief Commercial Officer, Scale Microgrid

Rob Hong, Co-Founder and CEO, Sapling Financial
