PACE Financing

PACE Financing (Property Assessed Clean Energy) is an innovative and affordable way to make energy saving and cost reducing improvements.

• PACE Financing out-performs traditional financing in many ways:Financing can pay for new lighting improvements, solar panels, controls, HVAC systems, water pumps, insulation, and more for almost any property – commercial, industrial, non-profit, and agricultural
• Financing pays for 100% of a project’s costs
• Increases building value
• Can provide positive cash flow with energy savings greater than the improvement payment
• Payments are set up as a special assessment for up to a 20 year period
• Does not negatively impact your balance sheet
• Preserves borrowing capacity for other projects
• Can be considered equity for new construction or renovation
• Is a simple and effective way to finance energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation upgrades to buildings
• Is sponsored by State and local governments to create jobs, promote economic development, and protect the environment
• Available in a number of counties nationwide. A complete list of counties can be found on this page for Wisconsin — some include Milwaukee County, Waukesha County, and more!

Best of all, PACE Financing leverages an opportunity that’s already ripe for the taking. Most buildings are already losing energy dollars that can be claimed through improving the efficiency of building systems. Solar energy and other renewable energy resources are now going unclaimed. Water is waiting to be conserved. PACE Financing is simply a way to reclaim the money currently going to waste, and to transform this loss into a near-term benefit.
