PACE is a structure we have worked with in other states and we are excited to be a part of bringing it to Utah." said Jake Barney, Chief Financial Offcer of Celtic Bank.     



PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) is a unique financing vehicle offered by local governments in states with PACE enabled legislation.  PACE allows property owners to finance 100% of the costs for up to 20 years to make energy efficient upgrades or renewable energy updates to their buildings. Because of the attractive terms available through PACE, building owners are typically able to increase their net operating cash flow from day one.
