With the potential to fund your new heating and cooling systems, lighting improvements, solar panels, water pumps, and insulation, amongst other things, property assessed clean energy (PACE) can be a simple and effective way to finance your next energy efficiency, renewable energy, or water conservation project. In many instances, PACE can be used to finance your resiliency improvements, too.
Every client is unique, but a common theme is the need to source capital for infrastructure improvements. The highly specialized nature of energy project finance can look intimidating, but Southland makes it easy. We work closely with you to fully define the financing environment, with emphasis on identifying all potential funding and financing sources and crafting the optimal deal structure to meet your cash flow and accounting requirements. Typically, projects are structured to create positive cash flow from Day 1. Depending on your requirements, Southland can work with your preferred lender, partner with a trusted financier, or conduct a detailed procurement process to select a lender. In all cases, you can be confident that third party financing is provided at highly competitive rates.
