MCED Who We Serve

First, there’s the population the district serves. Second are the investors that fund the programs. Third are the funding sources, such as grantors, government programs or agencies. Finally, there are the other partners who also play key roles, including the volunteers whose footwork helps carry out the organization’s mission. Clearly, constituents are the lifeblood of the organization.

For example, consider the district’s PACE program. Some MCED constituent groups provide policy guidance, others seek funding, investors provide capital, contractors offer energy services and member communities authorize access to it all through official action.

Thorough and easy-to-access to information about an organization’s relationship with each constituent allows MCED to focus on growing and strengthening connections — and regularly taking advantage of them for guidance, mobilization, awareness and other support.

We welcome all investors’ interest and inquiries. We engage with all qualified investors for the benefit of our borrowers, communities and state objectives.

The district has engaged a top-notch team of finance, engineering and legal professionals. The objective of the team is to provide support and coordination of successful financing transactions.

Our program options are flexible by design and we strive to provide contract terms and transaction structures to suit the borrower and investor.

And speaking of terms, the District’s fee structure is the lowest available in the state.

The District charges no program or partner fees for investor or contractor access.

MCED is an Open-Market Program that offers all funders, platforms and program administrators access to our authority under the PACE Act.

Energy efficient retrofits are a highly effective way to reduce energy consumption and green house gas emissions. However, high upfront and short-term ownership benefits have often made these retrofits impractical for many owners.  The PACE Program helps overcome these problems.  Through PACE, your financing is repaid through an increased assessment on your property tax bill.

Approved projects are expected to create an  economic benefit, because your energy cost saving and other associated savings should be greater than your increased assessment.  Should you decide to sell your property before the assessment is paid in full, any remaining balance may be able to transfer to a new property owner.

This fund is approved for the District’s use and supported in conjunction with the USDA IRP program. The intent of the District is to use these important funding dollars in circumstances where other programs cannot. The program is able to offer below market rates of interest to encourage completion of energy improvement projects on commercial property in qualifying member communities.
