The ICP Investor Network is comprised of energy efficiency investors who recognize the value of standardized Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ (IREE) projects. Members of the program recommend the use of the ICP protocols and the ICP Credentialing System as best practices when developing energy efficiency projects as projects that have been certified as IREE increase confidence in project performance while reducing due diligence related transaction costs.
ICP recommends that project developers, building owners, and others seeking project financing contact members of the listed ICP Investor Network who are currently seeking IREE and other high-quality projects to invest in. If you would like more information about our program, facilitated introductions, or guidance in connecting with Investor Network members please contact us. |
