New Mexico Climate Investment Center

The New Mexico Climate Investment Center (NMCICI is a mission-driven, independent, public nonprofit investment fund (sometimes called a green bank but is not a traditional deposit-taking bank) that uses limited amounts of public money to attract private sector money for investments in equity-focused, emissions-reducing projects that would not otherwise have adequate access to financing options. The firm prioritizes projects that provide direct benefits to low-income, disadvantaged and tribal communities, as well as small businesses and nonprofits, and it will further the climate action goals of the state of New Mexico and those of local governments. NMCIC’s Investment priorities include: ▪ Mature, commercially available technologies; ▪ Renewable energy projects: e.g. solar, wind, and geothermal resources; ▪ Energy efficiency, solar, and building electrification measures for residential and commercial properties; ▪ Alternative and electric fuel transportation and infrastructure; Energy storage; ▪ Other renewable sources of energy that replenish within a human lifetime and lead to a net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
