Responsibilities of the Commission/Members
EIERA provides environmental solutions through finance, research and technical assistance. Per its mandate (House Bill 1041), the Authority supports Missouri’s communities, organizations and businesses by providing a broad range of financial support and services. These services include issuing tax exempt bonds, providing technical assistance, financing projects that reduce, prevent or control pollution and providing for the development of the energy resources of the State of Missouri. The Authority is not a regulatory agency and believes there is an achievable balance between the environment and the economy. Since EIERA was established with a one-time appropriation of $225,000 in 1972, it has provided almost $5.7 billion in bonds and more than $30 million in projects that have supported infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency, pollution prevention, technical assistance, research and environmental education. EIERA operates on fees received for bond financings; it receives no state general revenue.
