Additional Details
Take advantage of interest-free loans to help pay for qualifying electric and natural gas energy-saving measures.
Commercial or industrial businesses participating in the Small Business Energy Advantage (SBEA) program can apply for loans ranging from $500 - $100,000. Municipalities participating in a retrofit program can apply for loans up to $1 million. These loans are funded through the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund to help upgrade or replace existing electric and gas equipment with qualifying high-efficiency equipment.
With repayment terms up to 48 months and a convenient on-bill payment option, these loans make it easy to make the smart choice to save energy.
For those who don't qualify for on-bill payment, we have a third party option through National Energy Improvement Fund (NEIF).
