Investment grade credit ratings are “really positive news for renewables,” said Britta von Oesen, managing director and head of the San Francisco office at CohnReznick Capital, in a recent article published by Greentech Media.
CohnReznick has worked with CCAs to finance projects with and without credit ratings, von Oesen said. “By achieving an investment-grade credit rating, those financing options will be even more competitive, allowing for additional deployments of renewables and growth of renewable energy offerings to consumers.”
