Description
Even when building owners want to upgrade, projects can stall due to upfront costs, financing complexity, or uncertainty about payback. This action focuses on partnering with the electric utility to identify which projects (municipal, commercial, multi-family, and large residential) are strong candidates for innovative programs and financing approaches—like PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy)—that can spread costs over time and align repayment with energy savings. Utility coordination can also help match sites to incentives, pilots, and technical support that reduce risk and accelerate adoption of efficient electric equipment. Success looks like a clearer pipeline of “ready” projects, higher participation in incentive and financing programs, and more electrification and efficiency upgrades completed sooner.
