Financing

Colorado C-PACE

C-PACE is long-term financing for energy and water upgrades on commercial buildings, repaid through a voluntary assessment on the property.

Basics

How C-PACE works

It is financing, not a rebate. You still owe the money, but the terms are built for building upgrades.

Long terms

Repayment can stretch over many years, often matched to how long the equipment lasts.

Tied to the property

Repayment rides with the property assessment, not a normal business loan.

Covers full projects

Design, equipment, and install work can be included, not just the hardware.

Where it is available

Availability depends on whether your county has opted into the program.

Rebates and financing stack

Utility rebates lower project cost. Financing spreads what is left over time. Many owners use both, so check your utility programs first.

We do not lend money or arrange financing. Program terms, eligible counties, and lender lists come from the official program and can change.

Talk to your lender and tax advisor before committing to any financing.
