In a recent letter to the Treasury, more than a dozen Senators are calling for modifications to the IRA’s 45V tax credit to help catalyze the clean hydrogen market. As a sustainable infrastructure investor, operator, and market builder, Generate is excited for the role clean hydrogen can play in decarbonizing the economy – and we believe aligned legislation is a crucial component to building emerging clean technology markets. We support the Senators’ letter and ongoing industry efforts to create clearer hydrogen production pathways. https://lnkd.in/gwsz2_Ff #SustainableInfrastructure

Generate is thrilled to announce our £38 million investment in GrowUp Farms, the UK's best-selling vertical farm. Vertical farming uses less land to grow crops closer to population centers, making it a key piece in decarbonizing how we grow our food. This investment builds on our existing partnership with GrowUp as the company expands rapidly to meet growing demand and provide a sustainable, reliable supply of ready-to-eat salads to the UK’s largest retailers. We are excited to continue supporting the GrowUp team in producing locally grown, pesticide-free greens that are good for customers and our planet. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ehCBMu7h

Congratulations to Blue Bird Corporation for being selected to receive an $80 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to accelerate school bus electrification. The grant will help Blue Bird convert a Georgia-based manufacturing site into a state-of-the-art electric school bus factory. This latest grant funding marks yet another exciting step in Blue Bird and Generate's effort to meet the increasing demand for electric school buses. Last year, we announced our joint venture Clean Bus Solutions. Clean Bus Solutions’ fleet electrification-as-a-service offering makes it simpler for school districts to upgrade to EVs by offering a turnkey electrification solution that includes Blue Bird’s electric school buses, financing of both EVs and charging infrastructure, project planning and management, and fleet and charging optimization. We are excited for the momentum as we work to protect students' health and advance large-scale electrification across the U.S. Read more about Clean Bus Solutions: https://lnkd.in/gcTSbZ6T Read more about Blue Bird's grant: https://lnkd.in/gervj5my

Community solar is an important solution for advancing the transition to sustainable energy sources and providing energy bill relief to lower-income communities who don't have access to rooftop solar. Yet the community solar proposal recently approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) threatens to undercut those benefits. Generate has spent a decade catalyzing the #communitysolar market through our sustainable infrastructure financing and operating platform, and we want this market to continue to thrive in our home state of California through policies that adequately support its benefits. https://lnkd.in/g7APu2TW

According to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), global investment in clean energy technologies and infrastructure is on pace to reach $2 trillion this year — nearly double the expected investment in fossil fuels. At Generate, we’re both celebrating this milestone and pushing for greater scale. The infrastructure transition will require more than tripling our current annual investment figures. Generate is working to bridge the gap by investing in projects and companies across sustainable infrastructure sectors. Read the report: https://lnkd.in/eV4B2RXn
