C-PACE for Property Owners
C-PACE enables building owners to access flexible, 100% upfront financing to improve their buildings’ value
Maryland property owners are discovering that C-PACE is a powerful tool to fund capital-intensive building retrofit and new construction projects. With no initial cash contribution, property owners may finance 100% of eligible energy efficiency, renewable energy and water conservation improvements at competitive rates with repayment terms of up to 25 years. This directly impacts the bottom line of any project.
