C-PACE Grows Up

Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy financing was, for years, a clever structure most lenders refused to touch. The consent process has matured, and C-PACE is now a real line in the capital stack.

When It Pencils

It works when your energy scope is a meaningful share of project cost, your senior lender has a standard consent precedent, and you can hold through the assessment's terms. Miss any of those and it is friction without reward.

Ask your senior lender for their C-PACE consent track record before you structure around it. Their answer tells you whether this is a tool or a trap.
