C-PACE (Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy) is a relatively new and quickly growing alternative financing mechanism that provides upfront capital for qualified energy improvements. C-PACE makes it possible for owners and developers of commercial properties to obtain low-cost, long-term financing which is paid back through an semi-annual assessment on the owner’s property tax bill.
C-PACE is a public-private partnership enabled by state and local legislation, allowing private lenders to provide financing for eligible measures that improve building energy performance.
C-PACE facilitates the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by making the shift to clean energy sources a financial reality and plays a vital role in supporting state and local governments in their initiatives to drive sustainable, efficient upgrades within their community’s infrastructure. All of this is accomplished while reducing costs for building tenants and enhancing property values for building owners and developers.
Through C-PACE, businesses can finance building retrofits, gut rehabilitations and new construction with no upfront costs and, in some markets, eligible projects can be funded retroactively to replace more expensive financing.
