Bob Barton: Promoting Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy with Innovative Financial Mechanisms

http://gradschool.marlboro.edu. MBA in Managing for Sustainability Speaker Series: "Promoting Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy with Innovative Financial Mechanisms" - Bob Barton, CEO of Catalyst Financial Group

Bob Barton brings over 30 years of experience in energy efficiency, renewable energy and environmental financing. As a green investment banker, Barton and Catalyst Financial have pioneered several energy-related finance mechanisms that have resulted in billions of dollars in energy financing. Currently, Barton and his business partner, Neil Zobler, advise 25 city, town and state governments on how to use their ARRA funding to set up innovative finance programs. Bob is an expert in non-traditional and traditional finance, including venture capital and project finance.

The talk will focus on three key finance mechanisms - Performance Contracting, Purchase Power Agreements (PPAs) such as Solar PPAs and Program Related Investments (PRIs). Barton's intent is to explain why these mechanisms are game changers and how they are being used today in the commercial, public sector and non-profit market place.
