C-PACE Resources
The County’s Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy financing program is County-sponsored and helps Property Owners* in Arlington County access private-sector financing for Eligible Improvements. Spearheaded by AIRE, the program will endeavor to advance several public policy goals as described in the County’s award-winning Community Energy Plan and the general welfare. These goals include reducing energy and water costs, increasing renewable energy deployment, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating local jobs.
More than 40 states, including Virginia, have passed legislation enabling C-PACE. On November 16, 2024, in accordance with the Clean Energy Financing Law, the Board adopted an ordinance to amend, reenact and recodify Chapter 68 of the Arlington County Code (Clean Energy Financing Ordinance) to update the County’s C-PACE Program. The Program may be used to finance both existing building retrofits and new construction Projects.
*Participants in the process can include Property Owners, commercial real estate developers, energy efficiency and renewable energy Contractors, mortgage holders, Lenders, and the community.
