Connecticut Green Bank Launches 17th Green Liberty Notes Offering
Following the record-breaking 16th offering, more than $4 million has been raised to support small business energy efficiency across Connecticut
Hartford, CT (July 13, 2026) – CGB Green Liberty Notes LLC, a subsidiary of the Connecticut Green Bank, today announced the launch of its 17th investment offering to Connecticut residents and investors nationwide. Offered quarterly, Green Liberty Notes are designed for accessibility, feature a one-year term, and can be purchased with a low minimum investment of $100 through Green Bank’s partnership with Honeycomb Credit, using its online crowdfunding platform.
The 16th Green Liberty Note offering reached the maximum amount of $500,000 thanks to a record $606,649 of investor commitments from 129 investors, marking the highest level of participation and capital raised in the program’s history. This milestone also marks the 14th consecutive Green Liberty Note offering to meet or exceed its maximum target, further demonstrating sustained investor confidence in the program and its underlying clean energy impact.
“Our Green Liberty Notes continue to demonstrate that community investment can be a powerful tool for advancing Connecticut’s green economy,” said Connecticut Green Bank President and CEO Bryan Garcia. “By making participation simple and accessible, we are giving everyday investors the opportunity to earn a competitive return while helping small businesses reduce energy costs, improve performance, and lower emissions.”
Investments in this offering support Eversource’s Small Business Energy Advantage (SBEA) program, which enables small businesses in Connecticut to reduce energy costs and improve performance through energy efficiency upgrades and interest-free loans. The benefits associated with the SBEA program have been reviewed and verified by Kestrel for their environmental impact. Encouraged by the success of the program, the Green Bank Board of Directors approved last month the expansion of the program to fund project specific raises where communities can invest in local projects. These community-driven raises are expected to launch in the next few months.
To date, more than $4 million has been raised through previous offerings, with more than 60% of original investments at $1,000 or less and more than half of investors being Connecticut residents. In total, individuals from 43 states have invested in Green Liberty Notes.
The current offering is quickly approaching its maximum raise amount. For more information or to invest, please visit www.greenlibertynotes.com.
