Illinois Climate Bank

​In 2021, Illinois Finance Authority was designated as the state climate bank for the State of Illinois as part of the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act.

The Illinois Climate Bank supports equitable clean energy opportunities across Illinois by providing financial assistance and resources that advance the state’s clean energy goals.


Funding and Financing Opportunities
​By leveraging state and federal incentives alongside private financing, the Climate Bank works to make clean energy more affordable and accessible, supporting equitable deployment of clean energy projects across the state. In close partnership with local government leaders, private property owners, and private lenders, the Illinois Climate Bank has mobilized and deployed just over a quarter billion dollars to advance the clean energy economy since its founding.

The Climate Bank’s offerings can be combined with various state and federal incentives to support clean energy projects. Please visit our Financing & Programs​ section for more information on specific funding and financing opportunities available today to help drive the state’s clean energy future.
