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.
