The Work of DC Green Bank

  • Invest in the deployment of clean energy technology and energy efficiency upgrades.
  • Maximize the impact and benefit to DC residents of public funds by encouraging private investment alongside our financing.

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 goal of accelerating the clean energy transition, DC Green Bank mobilizes private investment to provide gap financing, remove upfront costs and maximize the impact of public investments in energy efficient buildings, clean energy, 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.

DC Green Bank seeks to be the go-to financing resource for District residents, small business owners, community-serving institutions, and commercial developers interested in energy efficiency improvements, clean energy technology, and green infrastructure construction.

We are thrilled to decisively enter the green lending work, directly collaborating with visionary leaders in the local and national green energy sector.
