Clean Energy finance
Many businesses can benefit from green initiatives, and KeyCorp and Key Equipment Finance know how to assist them.
Before launching an energy-efficiency initiative, it’s important to build a solid business case and understand the funding options and potential incentives that are available. For example, one major benefit for a broad range of customers is reduced energy bills through facility enhancements, such as solar, HVAC, lighting and equipment.
In addition, manufacturers in the clean energy space can enhance their customer benefits by working with an equipment finance partner to provide customized solutions in solar and other distributed energy categories, among other benefits.
