Finance as Fuel for Change: The Intersection of Energy, Finance, and Social Equity

March 09, 2026

Foley Hoag Partner and UNC Law alumna Rebecca Rogers was recently profiled by the UNC Institute for the Environment’s Cleantech Summit in a feature highlighting her career trajectory and her work at the intersection of structured finance, renewable energy, and social equity.

In the interview, Rogers reflects on her path from early roles in public service to developing financial strategies that advance clean‑energy deployment in underserved communities. She also discusses the renewable‑energy market’s resilience and its “contrarian nature”—an industry defined by innovation even amid policy and economic uncertainty.

Rebecca returns to UNC this week as a panelist at the 2026 UNC Cleantech Summit on March 10 at 3:30 p.m.
