2. Medium to Large Businesses (50-300+ employees)

Conversely, if you own a larger business (think multiple locations or a campus), an Energy Service Company (ESCO) might be a better fit. ESCOs differ from your traditional contracting firm in that they specialize in cost-effective, energy-efficient projects.

In fact, as noted by the National Association of Energy Service Companies (NAESCO), “ESCOs have extensive design and implementation experience in integrating multiple efficiency measures, mitigating technical and performance risks, and providing a financial guarantee to project lenders that the energy savings generated will cover the debt service.” Since 1990, ESCOs have provided $75 billion in cost savings, $70 billion in projects paid from savings and saved 560 million tons of CO2. You can find the right ESCO for your project with the NAESCO Preferred Partners Page or send an email to Request for Proposal.

The C-PACE Toolkit is a four-part compilation of resources that can help you navigate C-PACE financing and explore the benefits of the model. It also shares best practices and innovative approaches to establish, join or design a C-PACE program. To date, PACE-enabled legislation is active in 38 states plus the District of Columbia, and more than $2 billion in projects have been financed!
