RMI Creates Renewables Resource Center for Executives

Rocky Mountain Institute plans to educate Fortune 500 executives in an effort to increase renewable energy initiatives.

RMI’s proposal centers on the creation of a nonprofit resource center, currently named the Business Renewables Resource Center (BR2C). The center’s key objective is to accelerate renewables penetration in the US by overcoming the informational and transactional barriers that prevent most Fortune 500 companies from making major investments in renewable energy projects.

RMI’s renewables attainment center will offer:

• Educational materials, tools and case studies to help senior decision makers approve deals
• A transactions database to identify patterns and models
• Access to top-tier transactional service providers when corporate needs are clear
• Contract examples and sample language.
