Our Story
The Mayor and City Council created DC Green Bank in 2018 with the District of Columbia Green Finance Authority Establishment Act.
With the clear goal of accelerating the clean energy transition, DC Green Bank will mobilize private investment to provide gap financing, remove up-front costs and maximize the impact of public investments in carbon neutrality, climate resiliency, and inclusive economic growth. It will facilitate a more equitable green transition where all DC residents are recipients of the benefits of a cleaner and vibrant city.
Moreover, DC Green Bank seeks to be the go-to financing resource for District residents, small business owners, and commercial developers interested in energy efficiency improvements, clean energy installations, and green infrastructure construction.
I joined the board of DCGB to thoughtfully facilitate DC’s embrace of alternative energy, particularly for affordable housing. I am excited to help accelerate the health, economic and climate benefits of energy sustainability for all DC residents.
We are thrilled to decisively enter the green lending work, directly collaborating with visionary leaders in the local and national green energy sector.
The Flywheel Development team is delighted to call DC Green Bank our partner, and we are excited to deploy Solar for All resources in District communities in ways that save local households real money.
