US-India Clean Energy Finance (USICEF)
From 2016-2023, CPI managed the US-India Clean Energy Finance (USICEF) initiative: India’s first project preparation and pipeline development facility to support promising distributed solar projects to develop into viable investment opportunities and drive long-term debt financing.
USICEF is a keystone of the commitment made between the Indian and US governments to mobilize finance for Indian distributed clean energy projects.
USICEF supported more than 45 early-stage businesses across 20 states in India that went on to mobilize more than 30x in commercial capital over the initial grants provided.
