PACE offers grants to help businesses convert to energy-efficient equipment and equipment powered by clean electricity. PACE grants cover a percentage of up-front costs. This helps small businesses by lowering the amount of money it takes for you to make big changes for your business! Since PACE grants are intended for local small businesses, there are more requirements in order to qualify.
When possible, PACE grants can layer on top of our utility partner rebates (Efficiency Works or Xcel Energy). Advisors will work to get you and your business the maximum amount of financial support available.
Funding for PACE’s grants comes from Boulder County’s Sustainability Tax, the City of Boulder’s Climate Tax, and the City of Louisville. All rebates are subject to change at any time and are available while funding lasts.
