This is from a website related to the project your text is about:

"Station Pointe Receives EQuilibrium™ Communities Initiative Funding from the Government of Canada

...Key performance targets and planned features for the project include... a **green loan** to cover increased capital costs of energy-saving features to be paid back through a monthly green fee equal to the operating savings realized."
Peer comment(s):

agree Nikki Scott-Despaigne : As the "prêt écologique" in question is defined in a specific way with reference to this particular project (reimbursement of hoem insurance etc), it wld need a generic term, ... were it not for the fact that the term exists in EN within the project!

Green Deal loans. The aim of the original Green Deal loan from the Green Deal Finance Company was to help spread payments for the upfront cost of energy-efficiency measures, such as solid wall insulation, boilers and double glazing.
