Abstract
Renewable Energy Investment in the U.S. is the first research study to focus
exclusively on the emerging renewable energy (RE) investment market in the
United States, a vast and complex market in the process of rapid evolution.
Four primary RE technology sectors are covered: solar power, wind power,
biofuels, and fuel cells.
Renewable Energy Investment in the U.S. demystifies the financial complexities
surrounding the rapidly evolving RE market and clearly explains the new
investment architecture taking shape to support RE-involving a blending of

The report explores the new financial vehicles being created to fund RE
development-including power purchase agreements, renewable energy credits, and
potential carbon markets.
