Bill Summary

Establishing a green banks program

AI Summary

This bill establishes a Massachusetts Green Banks Fund within the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center to finance renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. The fund will provide loans, loan guarantees, and other forms of financing to help address "financing gaps" that prevent creditworthy projects from reaching their intended scale. The fund will be financed through appropriations, bond proceeds, fees, and other sources, and the center will act as the coordinating organization to promote and implement financing options that advance the state's clean energy and energy efficiency goals. The bill also requires the center to establish a committee to report on potential legislation to further enhance the establishment of a Green Bank for the Commonwealth.
