Sparking a Green Energy Movement

Imagine residents, businesses, communities and educators joining together to push for clean, renewable energy sources, in a dedicated effort to strengthen Connecticut’s economy, protect community health, improve the environment and promote a secure energy supply for the state.

Such a movement is already under way, spearheaded by the Connecticut Green Bank (formerly the Clean Energy Finance and Investment Authority). As the nation’s first full-scale Green Bank, we leverage public and private funds to drive investment and scale up clean energy deployment across the state. We offer incentives and innovative low-cost financing to encourage homeowners, companies, municipalities, and other institutions to support renewable energy and energy efficiency.

In December, Governor Cuomo seeded a new clean energy effort by announcing the launch of a New York Green Bank with $210 million to advance the cause. This venture is intended to spark private clean energy investment and deployment, as well as grid modernization, by targeting market barriers to private financing of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. The NY Green Bank will offer credit enhancement, loan bundling and other financial products to clean energy companies.
