Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) quoted through ETB Developer using Green Bridge Energy direct financing integration

STUART, Fla., May 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy Toolbase and Green Bridge Energy have partnered to provide Northeast-based commercial solar developer RISE with financing for a solar system to power a non-profit, private college. The developer tapped Green Bridge Energy's financing solution within the ETB Developer platform to provide an indicative Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) quote for the system that will finance its entirety.

The 257kW/319kWh solar system will be constructed on a non-profit, co-ed private college in Falmouth, Massachusetts, to support the facility in stabilizing electricity expenses and achieving environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. RISE utilized the direct financing integration within the platform to access Green Bridge Energy's PPA quoting and was selected as part of a competitive bid process for turnkey solar funded by a PPA.
