Local PACE Programs

The city of Atlanta has an active C-PACE program administered by Invest Atlanta. Outside of Atlanta, the state of Georgia signed PACE legislation into law in March 2024. A PACE program needs to be drafted and an administrator selected for financing to be available outside of Atlanta. Atlanta allows for terms of up to 30 years. An SIR of at least 1 is required for renovation and retroactive refinancing projects. New developments, gut rehabs, and repositioning projects are not subject to an SIR and must instead demonstrate a designed energy performance level higher than existing building energy code.
