Local Government Incentives and PACE programs

​

Many local governments offer grants, loans or other incentives to encourage consumers to upgrade to energy-efficient appliances and lighting; for example, the City of Winter Park in Florida offers rebates to residential and commercial customers who upgrade to energy-efficient technologies, including indoor lighting improvements. Many states have also authorized Property Accessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing, allowing property owners to finance energy efficiency upgrades through assessments on their tax bill.
