- 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.
