Financing Large Energy Efficiency and Clean Energy Projects

On June 25, 2025, IREJN held a webinar featuring Peter Ludwig from the CT Green Bank, and Sheila Amdur and Doreen Simonsen from Temple Bnai Israel. The webinar focused on CT Green Bank programs available for financing large energy effciency and clean energy projects, such as heat pumps, solar, EV charging, and battery storage. Temple Bnai Israel told the story of how their synagogue utilized different programs to repair their roof, switch to heat pumps, and install solar on the path with the goal of becoming net-zero in the fall of 2025.
