MicroEnergy Credits

MicroEnergy Credits provides a comprehensive set of services which enable leading Microfinance Institutions to rapidly launch sustainable clean energy lending programs. These clean energy programs include products vital to the livelihood and well being of microfinance clients including solar lighting, efficient and clean cookstoves, water purification and efficient housing. MicroEnergy Credits’ track record creating successful clean energy lending programs provides assurance to Microfinance Institution leaders that their clean energy lending program will start on a successful foundation. When the clean energy lending portfolio reaches critical mass, MicroEnergy Credits buys the carbon emission reductions, and sells them on the carbon markets. MicroEnergy Credits funds its own services through these proceeds, and then passes the majority of the carbon proceeds to the Microfinance Institution to scale up the clean energy lending program. The carbon funding is used for marketing and client education, after-sales customer service and maintenance, and lowering interest and principal costs to the client.
