Jigar Shah

[3] Prior to the Loan Programs Office, Shah gained prominence as an American clean energy entrepreneur, author and podcast host.

The book talks about the prominent role of business model innovation, more than new technology, in attracting mainstream capital and unlocking transformational change.

In the book, the author pictures reaching our 2020 climate change goals as means to create the next economy with the equivalent of 100,000 companies worldwide, each generating $100 million in sales.

He co-founded Carbon War Room with Richard Branson and Virgin United, an organization that worked to harness the power of entrepreneurship to deploy solution technologies at scale.

[11] Shah previously worked in strategy for BP Solar and as a contractor for the Department of Energy on alternative vehicles and fuel cell programs.

As noted by co-host Stephen Lacey, the new ruling is pulled directly from the Jigar Shah Playbook, which suggests you must have competitive options such as volumetric reductions and feed-in tariffs, and the way these were designed seven to eight years ago do not work.

[24] With the passing of both bills (IRA and BIL) from Congress under the Biden Administration, Shah now manages $400 billion of loan authority to commercialize and bring emerging technologies to market, create more clean energy jobs, and boost local economies.
