Energy Bank - Loans

Promoting environmentally responsible energy and conservation with words and in deeds.



Foresight Bank’s Energy Bank program is another way that we do banking DIFFERENTLY. We established the Energy Bank program in 2006 in response to a widespread belief among banks and credit unions that renewable energy and energy conservation projects are not economically rational.

We know otherwise. Since its inception, our Energy Bank program has financed millions of dollars in solar, geothermal, wind, and conservation projects. These projects make economic sense and are responsible courses of action for current and future generations.

We have firsthand experience with the benefits of renewable energy. Foresight Bank is one of the few banks in the United States that runs on solar energy generated at our Plainview location.


Energy Bank Loan Programs

Our Energy Bank loan programs recognize the benefits provided by renewable energy systems and conservation projects. Therefore, we finance projects other banks and credit unions don’t take the time to understand.
