Data Center Financial Structuring & Credit Approvals (Gateway 5)

​Before money moves, financial partners weigh project risk: regulatory hurdles, community opposition, and a project's "social license to operate."

​In this session we'll share practical ways communities can understand a data center project's financial partners, file investor engagement letters, and reach out to shareholders with documented risks so all stakeholder interests can be in consideration.

​About these Working Sessions

​These bi-weekly meetings are part of a network project addressing the harms of bad data centers. Log-in or sign-up for the network to get involved.

​The format is a facilitated Zoom call to share on-the-ground experience, tools, resources, and information. The outcome is a collection of refined tools and knowledge the whole network can use. Notes and other resources will be shared in a private space for participants.
