Hartford, CT (August 2026) – CGB Green Liberty Notes LLC, a subsidiary of the Connecticut Green Bank, has successfully raised more than $5 million through 17 successful Green Liberty Notes offerings. Since its launch, the Green Liberty Note program has established itself as one of the most successful community investment initiatives in the country by providing everyday investors with the opportunity to directly support Connecticut’s clean energy economy. Through a simple, accessible structure, individuals can invest with as little as $100 and earn a competitive return while contributing to projects that reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.

Proceeds from Green Liberty Notes support energy efficiency upgrades through Eversource’s Small Business Energy Advantage (SBEA) program, enabling small businesses across Connecticut to lower operating costs and improve performance.

Green Liberty Notes, which are offered quarterly, can be purchased with a minimum investment of just $100. The Notes are offered through Green Bank’s partnership with Honeycomb Credit using their online crowdfunding website. To date, more than 60% of original investments have been $1,000 or less, and more than half of the investors have been Connecticut residents. In total, individuals from 43 states have invested in Green Liberty Notes.

Investments in the Green Liberty offering support Eversource’s Small Business Energy Advantage (SBEA) program, which enables small businesses in Connecticut to reduce their energy costs through efficiency upgrades and zero-interest loans.

As a result of the climate benefits associated with the SBEA program, this Green Liberty offering has been reviewed and designated a Green Bond by Kestrel, a leading provider of external reviews for green, social and sustainability bond transactions and a Climate Bonds Initiative Approved Verifier.
