Tolland Launches Commercial and Industrial Clean Energy Financing Program

lbielawiec@tolland.org — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:36:55 +0000

The Tolland Town Council voted on April 9, 2013 to engage Tolland in a new state program that will allow our commercial, industrial and multi-family property owners to receive 100% upfront, low cost, long-term, financing for clean energy upgrades to their properties. The Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy Program (C-PACE) is administered by the Clean Energy Finance and Investment Authority (CEFIA) as part of the State’s Energize Connecticut initiative, which is intended to help consumers save money and use clean energy.

C-PACE allows building owners to access capital to finance qualifying energy efficiency and clean energy improvements by placing a voluntary assessment on their property tax bill. Property owners pay for the improvements over time through this additional charge without having to use their own capital. The repayment obligation transfers automatically to the next owner if the property is sold.

C-PACE will help keep Tolland a competitive and business-friendly town for CT building owners to locate. Tolland has over 50 buildings eligible for C-PACE and we hope many will take advantage of this new program. More information and the application can be found at www.energizect.com/cpace.

Please contact Genevieve Sherman, Manager, C-PACE Program, at CEFIA with any questions, genevieve.sherman@ctcleanenergy.com.
