Project Financing - Garfield Clean Energy Financing for business, commercial, multi-family and agricultural clean energy projects The Colorado Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) program offers property owners an affordable tool to finance energy efficiency, water conservation and renewable energy projects.
With C-PACE financing, commercial property owners can spread the costs of energy and water project over a term of up to 20 years. Repayments are made through an assessment on the property's county tax bill, with no upfront capital outlay.
C-PACE can be used to finance a variety of improvements, including new heating or cooling systems, lighting, water pumps, insulation, solar panels and other renewable energy projects, and water efficiency upgrades. C-PACE financing can cover up to 100% of a project's cost. Property owners repay the loan for up to 20 years in payments that are structured as a regular line item on the county property tax bill.
When a property is sold, the PACE assessment can be transferred to the new owner who, in turn, enjoys the ongoing utility cost-savings associated with the project. Sellers may also choose to pay off their C-PACE loan at the time of sale. The New Energy Improvement District, a state government board established by legislation, oversees the C-PACE program.
Sustainable Real Estate Solutions (SRS) administers Colorado C-PACE. The program includes an open, competitive lending model that draws on the resources of a wide variety of capital providers. All projects are financed entirely with private funds, allowing local lenders, national banks, and other PACE capital providers an opportunity to finance projects.
Eligible properties include office buildings, hotels, retail, agricultural, non-profits, industrial buildings. Multi-family properties with five or more units also qualify. Projects must be located in counties that have opted to participate in the program.
Garfield County opted in to C-PACE in 2016. For more information or to apply for C-PACE financing, visit the Colorado C-PACE website at www. COPACE.

A rewrite of the federal grants rulebook would let political appointees pre-approve or cancel discretionary grants, add per-expense written justification, and layer new state verification before dollars reach districts — while House appropriators move to cut Title I by 9 percent ($1.6 billion). A Senate stopgap blocks the rule only until December 11, 2026. Here is what changes for education grant recipients and the readiness moves to make now.

Here is how this non-traditional financing works, who qualifies, why the September 30 sunset matters, and how energy companies and their supply chains should position now.
