26 2051 Baldwin Road Yorktown Heights, NY (914) December 4, 2017 Memo to EIC Members: Revisions to EIC s PACE Finance Services EIC is pleased to report that New York State has amended its PACE Law to make PACE financing more accessible to clean energy projects. The changes listed below ( PACE 2.0 ) will expand the usefulness of Energize NY PACE and increase its appeal to energy efficiency and renewable energy project developers. In order to effectuate these PACE enhancements in your municipality, you will need to amend your local PACE law to incorporate the amendments to NY State s PACE law (Article 5L of the NYS General Municipal Law) and the other refinements to PACE 2.0 described below. PACE 2.0 1) Amendments to Article 5-L allow the governing administrator (e.g., EIC) to determine the maximum amount of financing that would be permitted for properties that are not individually owned. a. This removes the old 10% cap, which disadvantaged property owners in areas of the State that have low property values. b. This enables EIC to increase the maximum amount of available PACE financing relative to a property s value and provides more flexibility going forward. 2) Amendments to Article 5-L removed the requirement that the power generated from a renewable energy system be primarily used at the location where it is installed, as long as the property is owned by a commercial entity. a. This could expand the benefits of solar across multiple sites owned by the same entity. b. This will enable EIC to develop products, to be approved by EIC members, that distribute the benefits of energy derived from solar to those who do not have the right building type for solar or who desire to keep their property as-is (e.g., no ground mount systems). 3) Adopts the positive savings-to-investment ratio (SIR test) used by NYSERDA in its new commercial PACE guidelines that measures savings and costs over the life of the project, rather than annually. a. This change is consistent with industry standards and PACE programs in other states. b. It also broadens the range of solar projects that can be financed with PACE; the availability of tax credits made it difficult to satisfy the annual cash flow standard even though the project resulted in sufficient cash flow over the life of the project. 4) Allows the PACE Charge to be placed on the tax bill at the beginning of construction, which is the norm in most PACE programs and standard practice for most project developers. a. Without the availability of PACE during construction, the types of projects that can use PACE are limited to smaller projects or those projects where a 3 rd party is willing to finance the cost of construction through to completion. 1

27 5) Amendments to Article 5-L allow the use of State as well as federal sources to fund PACE reserves, which creates the opportunity for municipalities with lower credit ratings to participate in PACE. a. There is a need for such a facility to accommodate all NYS municipalities with strong interest and those municipalities whose credit ratings may have dropped. b. EIC has received indications of interest from capital providers and multiple project developers to fund projects in lower rated municipalities. EIC Member Next Steps: 1. Amend your existing Sustainable Energy Loan Program Local Law to conform to the new template that EIC has provided, which incorporates the amendments to Article 5-L and the other PACE 2.0 changes outlined above. Before submitting the amendments to your existing Local Law for a final vote, please send to EIC for review as EIC s finance facility and available loan capital is based on receiving identical agreements from every EIC Member. 2. Amend your existing EIC Municipal Agreement to conform to the new template that EIC has provided reflecting the PACE 2.0 changes outlined above. Before submitting these amendments for final internal approval, please send to EIC for review as EIC s finance facility and available loan capital is based on receiving identical agreements from every Member. Section 3 of the Municipal Agreement is unchanged and enables a municipality to make modifications that limit how PACE is offered to its constituents. 3. Once approved by your legislature, the amended local law must be filed with the Office of the Secretary of State. Please send a copy of the amended local law to EIC. Attachments: 1.
