DBRS Morningstar Expects Commercial PACE to Remain Center Stage in 2020

DBRS Morningstar believes the property assessed clean energy (PACE) market will continue to grow in 2020, with the commercial side driving much of that expansion. Commercial property owners are increasingly turning to PACE financing to help make energy efficiency, energy renewal, and resiliency upgrades to their buildings. In addition, new major jurisdictions—namely Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, and Salt Lake City—jumped on the bandwagon last year in adopting legislation allowing commercial PACE (C-PACE) as a financing mechanism and/or closed first-time PACE financings. At the same time, the residential side is expected to see progress this year, with Ohio having a program in development and likely to join California, Florida, and Missouri as being the only states offering PACE for homeowners.
