About PACE Financing

The Texas PACE program enables multifamily property owners to obtain affordable, long-term financing covering up to 100% of the cost for energy efficiency, water conservation, and onsite generation technologies.

PACE secures private financing for a term equal to the projected useful life of the improvements, typically 10-20 years, resulting in utility cost savings that exceed the amount of the repayment.

You can modernize your facility without fear of over-investment, knowing that if you sell the facility, the PACE loan repayment obligation transfers with the property to the new owner.

Covered improvements include:

  • HVAC modification or replacement
  • Light fixture modifications such as LED
  • Solar panels
  • High-efficiency windows or doors
  • Automated energy control systems
  • Insulation, caulking, weather-stripping or air sealing
  • Water use efficiency improvements

Project eligibility:

  • Austin Energy electric customer located in Hays, Travis, or Williamson County
  • Project savings exceed loan payments
  • Loan term not to exceed useful life of projects
  • Primary lien holder allows PACE loan to supersede
