LPO: Financing American Energy

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office (LPO) finances large-scale, all-of-the-above energy infrastructure projects in the United States. Through loan and loan guarantee programs that provide financing for clean energy, advanced transportation, tribal energy, and energy infrastructure reinvestment projects, LPO partners with stakeholders across the country for private sector-led, government enabled innovation, scale up, and deployment.

LPO administers four distinct lending programs, but each offers a similar value to borrowers:

• LPO can provide first-of-a-kind projects and other high-impact energy-related ventures with access to debt capital that private lenders cannot or will not provide.
• LPO can provide flexible, custom financing that helps to meet the specific needs of individual borrowers.
• LPO encourages early engagement and is a valuable partner to applicants throughout the entire lifetime of a project.
