Energy Programs

Clean Energy Financing

http://eicpace.org/

Open C-PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) is operated by Energy
Improvement Corporation (EIC) and provides long-term financing for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects on commercially owned properties.

Open C-PACE is not a bank loan and differs from traditional financing options:

    • Financing is available for up to 100% of the project cost, or can be combined with other financing
    • Competitive private financing from EIC-approved capital providers
    • Customizable loan terms up to the expected life of the improvement (generally 20-30 years)
    • Repayment is secured through a benefit assessment lien that runs with the property
    • Projects must comply with NYSERDA’s Commercial PACE Guidelines

PACE financing is a public benefit, authorized through state and local law, which supports more sustainable and economically vibrant communities.
