C-PACE for Bankers: What is C-PACE and Why Would My Institution Consent?

SEF and PEA have partnered to produce this educational event for commercial lender real estate team leads, and senior credit officials.

C-PACE is an alternative financing mechanism for property upgrades that improve energy efficiency, utilize renewable energy, and conserve water. C-PACE makes it possible for owners and developers of commercial, industrial, agricultural, and nonprofit properties to obtain low-cost, long-term, fixed-rate financing funded by private capital providers. C-PACE is relatively new in PA, though it has been around for more than ten years in other states. Approximately 32 states have enacted C-PACE legislation, enabling more than $1 billion in private financing of 2,000+ projects.

Mortgage lenders are an integral part of C-PACE as all C-PACE financings must have lender consent. Furthermore, C-PACE projects generally increase properties’ collateral value and reduce building operating costs. This presentation will further define C-PACE and mortgage lenders’ role in getting a project financed.

This presentation is free for all attendees.
