New Mexico has unveiled the nonprofit New Mexico Climate Investment
Center, colloquially known as a ‘Green Bank’ .This innovative initiative aims
to address gaps in access to clean energy across the state by channelling federal,
private, and public funds into clean energy projects that might not receive full
funding through traditional avenues.
The New Mexico Climate Investment Center will play a crucial role in
accessing federal funding, including between USD 50 and USD 70 million in
Inflation Reduction Act funding. The focus of this initiative will be on bridging
financing gaps for clean energy projects in various areas, particularly in rural,
tribal, and low-income communities.
This green bank represents a significant step forward in New Mexico’s
commitment to expanding clean energy access and sustainability initiatives
across the state.
