DEP Celebrates $30 Million Invested in Low-Interest Loans for High-Impact Commercial Energy Efficiency Projects

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announced that the Green Energy Loan Fund has reached a milestone of $30 million invested in lowinterest loans for high-impact energy efficiency projects on commercial properties.

DEP Secretary Patrick McDonnell made the announcement at an event with leaders from the Leon H. Sullivan Charitable Trust and the Reinvestment Fund at the Leon H. Sullivan Human Services Center in Philadelphia.

“Energy efficiency drives positive impacts across our lives,” said Secretary McDonnell. “Every time a company or organization installs an energy-efficient heating, cooling, or lighting system, it’s another step for Pennsylvania and the nation toward independence from fossil fuels. It creates good-paying jobs in energy efficiency system manufacturing and installation. It lowers operating expenses, allowing an entity to focus more resources on its mission. It makes air quality healthier in the community. And it helps lower greenhouse gas emissions to slow climate change and its negative effects.”
