You are invited to join the San Diego Renewable Energy Society (SDRES) on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 7pm for a presentation by Jeremy Hutman of the California Center for Sustainable Energy on the developing municipal financing programs for renewable energy and energy efficiency improvements, known as Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE).

PACE programs, also commonly referred to as AB 811 style programs, allow local government entities to offer sustainable energy project loans to eligible property owners. Through the creation of financing districts, property owners can finance renewable onsite generation installations and energy efficiency improvements through a voluntary assessment on their property tax bills. The assessment district approach adds a powerful new option to the clean energy finance landscape.

Come learn about how you can benefit from the PACE programs by avoiding the upfront installation cost of renewable onsite generation systems and energy efficiency measures.
