5 PACE Programs to Watch in 2014

Set the PACE St. Louis makes the list! "Move over, Connecticut and California. PACE allows investments in energy-efficiency retrofits and distributed renewable generation to be paid back through a tax that is tied to the property, which lowers the risk for both lenders and owners and can potentially open up a far larger swath of the energy efficiency market. California and Connecticut are already two of the most important states for commercial PACE because of the number and scope of their programs. California has taken a city-by-city approach, while Connecticut has employed a state-level approach. But there are other regions to watch in 2014 as legislators and regulators design unique programs and learn from pioneering states." Click here to get the whole story.
