The Missouri Clean Energy District is a political subdivision of the State of Missouri created for the purpose of issuing tax-exempt and taxable conduit bonds for public and private entities statewide. MCED partners with local governments to assist in the financing of public benefit projects that create temporary and permanent jobs, community infrastructure and improve the overall quality of life in local communities.

GovernmentPublic facilities may benefit from energy project financing through the District. In addition to the District’s offerings designed to finance energy improvements on private property, local governments will find it advantageous to borrow from MCED as well.

MCED provides non-referendum financing to meet the specialized, tax-exempt financing needs political subdivisions face when making capital infrastructure improvements or energy project investments. The financing is delivered most often through a lease-purchase agreement and the amount borrowed is unlimited as it is with other programs.
