Benefits to Catholic Institutions

  • Catholic diocese, schools, parishes, and religious communities can significantly lower long-term operating expenses through renewable energy solutions like solar and geothermal, freeing resources for mission-driven work.

  • Faith-based institutions can demonstrate visible progress toward Laudato Si Action Plans by adopting clean energy systems that help reduce carbon emissions in measurable, incremental steps aligned with Church-wide care for creation stewardship.

  • Renewable energy partnerships can provide Catholic organizations financial stability and budget certainty by replacing volatile utility bills with transparent, fixed-cost power agreements tailored to diocesan operations. At the same time, Catholic institutions' that own renewable energy infrastructure build even greater resilience.

  • Through structured agreements and expert project management, Catholic institutions can minimize risk exposure while embracing infrastructure upgrades that align with both Laudato Si calls to action and Church mission.

  • Mission-aligned financing tools—such as donor-supported capital stacks—enable Catholic institutions to access clean energy without upfront costs, empowering stewardship and long-term resilience.
