Building a prospering, sustainable, and healthy Montgomery County.

In FY 2025, Montgomery County Green Bank accelerated its pace of facilitating energy efficiency and renewable energy projects to address the urgency in meeting the County’s climate objectives, generating more than $82 million in closed projects. Our active market engagement, a growing staff dedicated to community engagement, and improved connections with contractors, property owners, and developers have fueled the pipeline to help meet the County’s greenhouse reduction goals.

Montgomery County Green Bank is excited to move forward with significant momentum in investments and impact, strong alignment on energy and equity, and a proven platform to support County leadership on climate adaptation, green job creation, economic recovery, and quality of life. We thank all who have collaborated on our progress.

“The Green Bank team worked extensively with us to understand our project financing needs and the resources needed to fit within our existing financing, and delivered key funding for our major clean energy project.”

Aaron Orlofsky, ORLO Corporate

“By working with the green bank, we’re not only able to put solar on the roof, but we’re going to be putting in a community solar project so that members of our congregation and others, as well as the church will be getting a discount to help with their energy needs.”

Mark Eakin, Warner Memorial Presbyterian Church

“More importantly, I want to thank all of you on behalf of the County, the Department of Environmental Protection, and specifically my team that works every day on climate and energy issues for everything you are doing to further the County’s climate efforts and improve the lives of County residents. I was involved in the Green Bank when it was merely a concept on paper, and to see the things you are doing now is truly amazing!”

Stan Edwards, Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection
