Dane County is 19th in the state to join PACE Wisconsin, a program which enables commercial property owners to obtain low-cost, long-term financing for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation improvements.

PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) drives economic development by authorizing municipalities and counties to work with private sector lenders to provide upfront financing—usually for 100 percent of the cost of energy-saving improvements—to property owners for qualified projects.
PACE Wisconsin will help Dane County:
- Stimulate job creation and investment in goods and services.
- Lower the cost of doing business by reducing the cost of capital to fund improvements, which in turn saves building owners money on operating expenses.
- Revitalize aging buildings, thus improving the local building stock—and raising the value of property and the potential tax base.
- Achieve sustainability goals by fostering the completion of energy and water saving projects.
Dane County joins a number of other Wisconsin counties that have already adopted PACE Wisconsin, including: Eau Claire, La Crosse, Douglas, Dunn, Chippewa, Iowa, Jefferson, Fond du Lac, Sheboygan, Racine, Washington, Ashland, Bayfield, Manitowoc, Marathon, Ozaukee, St. Croix, and Wood.
The statewide program is administered by Madison nonprofit Energy Finance Solutions (EFS), a financial service division of WECC.
