Commercial Property Assessed Capital Enhancement (C-PACE) District 

Park County recently became the first county in the state to approve C-PACE financing for energy efficiency upgrades and renewable energy investments for commercial building owners in Park County. Please thank your County Commissioners for acting quickly to approve this great opportunity. C-PACE is an innovative Public-Private Partnership through Commerce’s Montana Facility Finance Authority (MFFA). The benefits include:

  • Invest in energy efficiency projects and solar or renewable energy upgrades with no upfront costs.

  • Utility savings exceed payment obligations, making investments cash positive for commercial property owners and tenants.

  • Payments are rolled into a special tax assessment made payable twice per year as part of the building owner’s property taxes.

  • The process is much quicker and easier than traditional financing, although participants will still obtain financing from a bank or other financial institution.

  • The program is tax neutral with no financial exposure to cities or counties.
     

C-PACE is a fit for most industries including farms, commercial office buildings,
nonprofit organizations (including places of worship), and multi-tenant buildings.
Common projects include solar panels, HVAC systems, lighting, motors & more.
