• QECB Aggregation Efforts

• Green Communities Programs

• Sustainable Energy Trust

• Conclusion

• Questions

Page 21: Finance workshop Session 1 - Project Financing and Project Opportunities

QECB Aggregation: WSHFC as State QECB Clearinghouse

• Washington State:

o $67.8M Allocated across WA

o ~$32M Issued

o In conjunction with WA Department of Commerce, have contacted all jurisdictions with remaining QECB Authority

o $27M reallocated to WSHFC, $13.5M+ issued, more promised so far…

What is a Green Community Program?

Two Required Elements:

• Program Purpose

• Program goal must be to promote energy conservation, energy efficiency or environmental conservation initiatives related to energy consumption.

• General Public Use or Broad Public Availability

• Financing must involve either:

• Property available for general public use, or

• Loan or grant program broadly available to members of the general public.
