SECURITIZE Return to list of terms

The aggregation of contracts for the purchase of the power output from various energy projects into one pool, which then offers shares for sale in the investment market. This strategy diversifies project risks from what they would be if each project were financed individually, thereby reducing the cost of financing. Fannie Mae performs such a function in the home mortgage market.
