Broward County Program to Finance Energy Efficiency Retrofits
Financing Is Available for Improvements Including HVAC, Solar Panels, and LED Lighting
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The Broward County Commission unanimously voted to move forward with a new open market approach to financing for residential and commercial energy retrofits for its more than 1.8 million county residents.
The Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program adopted by the county lets property owners voluntarily and cost-effectively fund energy-saving retrofits of their homes and businesses. Financing is available for improvements including HVAC, solar panels, and LED lighting. Interest rates are competitive because repayment is collected as an assessment on the owners’ property tax bill.
