Join us for a presentation and discussion of the launch of NYC Accelerator PACE Financing, New York City’s commercial PACE (C-PACE) program, and how it fits within the financing ecosystem for energy efficiency and clean energy retrofits. Financing is one of the primary barriers to advancing retrofits and C-PACE has the potential to dramatically improve the prospects for buildings all across the city. Our speakers will describe the components of NYC Accelerator PACE Financing, provide examples of how C-PACE has been used in other jurisdictions, and provide an overview of relevant incentive programs.

NYC Accelerator PACE Financing was developed in partnership with the New York City Energy Efficiency Corporation (NYCEEC)–a non-profit financing organization and the administrator of the program. Our CMA series is made possible through the generous support of the New York City Mayor’s Office of Climate and Sustainability and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
