Corporate Renewable Analysis and Solutions
Allotrope offers a range of solutions for corporate clients from analysis and opportunity mapping to clean energy transactions and project implementation. With nuanced understanding of emerging markets, Allotrope brings a unique perspective to corporate clean energy procurement.

Clean Energy Investment Accelerator (CEIA)
Allotrope jointly leads the Clean Energy Investment Accelerator, in partnership with the World Resources Institute and the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory, to advance the policy and financing frameworks to scale commercial and industrial clean energy deployment in key emerging markets. The CEIA brings together governments and companies to promote effective policy frameworks, create a business-led demand signal for clean energy, and mobilize a robust pipeline of investment-ready clean energy projects.

Greening the Banks
Allotrope also leads a key public-private collaboration initiative focused on the financial sector in Southeast Asia. Greening the Banks aims to strengthen the capacity of Southeast Asian financial institutions to actively participate in green finance, with the ultimate goal of rapidly scaling renewable energy investments, while decreasing capital flows to fossil fuels. Greening the Banks unlocks scaled green investments in the region by facilitating in-country dialogues among financial institutions, project developers, and regulators, while proactively collaborating with global, regional, and local initiatives. GTB also provides targeted technical assistance and sustained engagement with banks and regulators to unlock transactions with project developers and rapidly scale the green project pipeline.
Local Utility Project Accelerator (LUPA)
LUPA is a blended finance initiative seeking to support local utilities or electric cooperatives (ECs) in the Philippines to invest in, own, and benefit from renewable energy projects. After successfully completing a feasibility study and design process, LUPA is now in its Proof of Concept phase, expanding engagement with ECs and development and financing partners, and launching a new local corporate entity named Kapuluan Renewables to advance initial EC renewable energy transactions.
