Innovative Financing Options for Energy Projects

Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) Financing

C-PACE financing is a powerful tool that allows property owners to fund energy efficiency and renewable energy projects through an assessment on their property tax bill. This financing mechanism reduces the weighted average cost of capital by spreading out the costs over a longer term. C-PACE is particularly beneficial for new construction, repositioning projects, and large-scale energy upgrades. Our team will guide you through the application process, help you secure favorable terms, and ensure that you capitalize on the available financial incentives.

Key Benefits:

• Long-Term, Fixed Financing: Provides predictable, long‑term funding at competitive rates.
• No Upfront Capital: Allows you to finance projects without needing significant initial capital.
• Enhanced Asset Value: Improves building performance and market competitiveness.

On‑Bill Financing

On‑Bill Financing offers a unique way to fund energy projects by allowing you to repay the investment through your monthly utility bill. This innovative solution requires no upfront capital and spreads the cost of the project over time, making it accessible and financially viable for many property managers. On‑Bill Financing is particularly effective in energy‑deregulated markets, where it can streamline the funding process and provide immediate energy savings.

Key Benefits:

• No Money Out of Pocket: Project costs are repaid through your utility bill.
• Simplified Funding Process: Reduces the administrative burden of securing traditional financing.
• Immediate Energy Savings: Enables fast implementation of energy efficiency measures.

How Our Financing Process Works

Step 1: Initial Assessment and Financial Analysis

Comprehensive Energy and Financial Audit

We begin by conducting a thorough audit of your building’s energy usage and financial profile. This audit helps identify areas where energy efficiency improvements can yield significant cost savings. We analyze your current energy expenditures, projected savings, and potential financing requirements to develop a detailed financial model tailored to your property.

Customized Financial Planning

Based on the audit, we work with you to create a customized financing plan that aligns with your energy goals and capital structure. Our planning process includes evaluating available financing options, determining the optimal mix of financing mechanisms, and developing a strategy to secure competitive terms. This tailored approach ensures that your project is financially sustainable and delivers long‑term returns.

Step 2: Securing Financing and Project Funding

Application and Approval Process

Our team guides you through the application process for financing options such as C-PACE and On‑Bill Financing. We assist with the preparation of all necessary documentation, ensuring that your application is complete and meets all regulatory requirements. Our experience in navigating the financing landscape helps streamline the approval process, allowing you to access funding quickly and efficiently.

Negotiating Favorable Terms

Once financing applications are submitted, we negotiate with lenders and financing partners on your behalf. Our goal is to secure favorable terms that reduce your cost of capital and maximize the financial benefits of your energy project. Through our expert negotiations, you can achieve financing arrangements that support long‑term energy savings and improve your overall ROI.

Step 3: Project Implementation and Monitoring

Coordinating with Contractors and Suppliers

With financing secured, our team coordinates with contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders to ensure that your energy project is implemented efficiently. We manage project timelines, oversee installations, and ensure that all work is completed to the highest standards. This hands‑on support minimizes disruptions and ensures a smooth transition to improved energy performance.

Continuous Monitoring and Performance Reporting

After project completion, we set up continuous monitoring systems to track the performance of your energy efficiency upgrades. Custom dashboards and periodic reports provide detailed insights into energy savings and financial performance. This ongoing monitoring ensures that the project continues to deliver the expected returns and that any necessary adjustments are made promptly.
