Clean Energy Infrastructure OVERVIEW

The document identifies critical infrastructure barriers to the clean energy transition and details CATF's strategies to overcome them through policy advocacy, research, and stakeholder engagement, requesting $12 million in funding over three years to support these efforts.

• The deployment of carbon-free and climate protecting technologies is being slowed by a combination of social, institutional, and land-use barriers. These specific obstacles include public opposition to siting, competition for land, inefficient permitting, supply chain instability, labor shortages, and limited capital access.
• CATF's approach to accelerating clean energy infrastructure involves four core strategies: policy development and advocacy, thought leadership and coalition building, research and analysis of deployment delays, and place-based engagement with stakeholders to transfer insights across different regions.
• CATF is seeking $12 million in funding over the next three years to support the Clean Energy Infrastructure program. These funds are intended for commissioning analyses, implementing public policy and community engagement, hiring expert staff, and supporting planning efforts.
