Texas PACE Authority

Texas PACE Authority is a nonprofit organization that advances Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) projects in Texas by administering a uniform commercial and industrial PACE program on behalf of local governments. This model approach ensures local governments can establish an effective TX-PACE program quickly and economically, providing a tool for property owners to invest in more efficient infrastructure. TPA provides education and outreach to enable businesses and nonprofits of all sizes to benefit from the programs established in PACE regions. The PACE Act, Chapter 399 of the Texas Local Government Code, is a local adoption model authorizing counties and municipalities to work with the private sector to finance qualified improvements using contractual assessments voluntarily imposed on the property by the owner. After the passage of the PACE Act in June of 2013, a nonprofit business association called Keeping PACE in Texas organized a coalition of more than 100 stakeholders, made up of capital providers, property owners, contractors, industry trade associations, and local government authorities. Together they created uniform standards, documentation, and best practices for PACE financing programs in Texas. The user-friendly toolkit was coined “PACE in a Box.” Texas PACE Authority administers “PACE in a Box” programs in dozens of local jurisdictions. Texas PACE Authority is committed to expanding this vibrant program to every region in Texas, working with all parties – property owners, contractors, lenders, and local governments to bring energy and water improvements that are both economically sound and environmentally friendly. Texas PACE Authority is funded through user fees and grants and does not compete with the private sector.
