In a recent investor update, CEO William Wiseman of Climatize acknowledged the shifting landscape of federal funding and energy incentives under the new U.S. administration. With funding freezes and energy tax credits on the chopping block, many in the renewable energy sector are bracing for impact. But rather than getting lost in the political turbulence, Climatize is staying focused on what it can control—mobilizing investments and pushing forward on critical clean energy projects.

While the administration has lifted its freeze on federal funding, the risk remains as lawmakers debate a more targeted approach to energy incentives. According to Heatmap News, a recent memo from the Office of Management and Budget suggests that while USDA’s Rural Energy for America Program grants are safe, Section 48 Investment Tax Credits (ITCs) remain under scrutiny. This was expected, yet it places significant pressure on projects relying on these incentives. Climatize, alongside industry advocates like Rewiring America, is working to preserve these tax credits by demonstrating their tangible benefits to local communities and investors.

Climatize Charges Onward

Despite these headwinds, Climatize continues to deliver on its mission. The company recently launched its Windmill Market EV Hub, a $1.38 million capital raise in partnership with Mynt Systems—the sixth developer to collaborate with Climatize. The project has already secured over $350,000 in funding, a testament to growing investor confidence in decentralized climate solutions.

Climatize has also successfully completed and repaid four major projects, returning over $1,063,160 to investors. These include:

• Solar for Liberty Hill Farms ($1,035,725 – fully repaid)

• Solar for Congregation Ahavas ($8,400 repaid)

• Solar for Shakespeare Theatre ($8,935 repaid)

• Bright Sun Low-Income Community Solar ($10,100 repaid)

The message is clear: Clean energy investments aren’t just a moral imperative—they’re financially viable and delivering real returns.

At a time when climate concerns can feel overwhelming, Climatize offers a way to take action rather than succumb to helplessness. If you’re looking for a way to support clean energy while making a solid investment, now is the time to take a closer look at Climatize.
