5 New York Green Bank Follows Connecticut s Lead Through the New York Green Bank, we will leverage public dollars to attract private sector investment into building a new clean energy economy that will help make our state greener and create jobs With this initiative, we will promote job growth and business development, improve resiliency and air quality, and lower costs for consumers while providing them with greater choices and value for their money. When fully capitalized, the Green Bank is expected to have a $1 billion balance sheet. 9 New Jersey Energy Resilience Bank Follows Connecticut s Lead The launch of the Energy Resilience Bank, the first of its kind in the nation to focus on resilience, is yet another effort of the Christie Administration to increase energy resilience at critical facilities throughout New Jersey Increasing energy resilience, whether through the Energy Resilience Bank, the BPU approved resiliency improvement measures implemented by utility companies or NJ s Clean Energy Program, will minimize the potential impacts of future widespread power outages due to major storms like Superstorm Sandy. The bank is capitalized with $200 million through a federal Community Development Block Grant for Disaster Recovery as a result of Superstorm Sandy 10 5
