Recent Projects & Initiatives

A collection of in-progress and completed projects

To accelerate DC’s clean economy, DC Green Bank will serve as a pathfinder, developing the proof of concept that demonstrates that all finance can be green finance. This role opens the door for private capital to shift into the clean economy and fill gaps as we respond dynamically to support the District to be a national leader on climate, energy, and sustainable finance.

DC PACE
Property owners in all four quadrants of the District have used PACE financing to save money and improve their buildings. We’ve financed more than $56 M across 36 projects, from churches and charter schools to office buildings and breweries, making DC PACE one of the top ten PACE program in the country by financed deployed, and first in the nation in amount of financing per capita.
