PACE Financing in Clean Energy
Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Financing is a tool for funding energy efficiency and renewable energy projects in private sector buildings, established through local ordinances and state legislation. PACE provides 100% funding, allows for up to 20 years of repayment, and offers benefits like no upfront costs and immediate positive cash flow. Despite some challenges in specific regions like Virginia, PACE continues to grow nationally, with programs in various states catering to different property types including commercial, industrial, and multi-family buildings.
