We’re winding down CoPower’s retail fundraising model, but we couldn’t say goodbye to Green Bonds without one last look at everything our community of investors has helped make happen – from avoiding 25,000 tonnes of CO2 to enabling first-of-their-kind clean energy deals.

Check out CoPower’s 2016-2021 Impact Report and learn about how VCIB is carrying CoPower’s mission forward:

"We will continue CoPower’s catalytic role of financing emerging industries like energy storage and innovative business models like energy-as-a-service and helping them scale."
