Town of Clinton Commercial Clean Energy Agreement: How to Get Started


 In 2013, the town of Clinton agreed to partner with Connecticut Green Bank’s Commercial
 Property Assessed Clean Energy Program (C-PACE). The program aids in financing green
 energy upgrades to all types of commercial properties; including, industrial, office, retail,
 and any other non-residential building. Financing is paid through your tax bill and the cost of
 the improvements is transferred with property ownership.
