Property Assessed Clean Energy "PACE" 

Program Administrators

Per Section 163.08(7), the FDFC was given the ability to issue revenue bonds on a state-wide basis. In January 2014, the FDFC Board approved a PACE program with multiple, third-party PACE Program Administrators to provide a higher level of competition and serve as much of the state as possible. 

​

FDFC’s role expands outside the normal parameters of simply the conduit issuer to include all due-diligence on PACE Providers, structuring and creating of the bonds and associated bond documents, oversight of the PACE Providers, consumer protections for the residential PACE program (R-PACE) and reporting.   All PACE Program Administrators must go through a multi-step process before actually providing service to a community through the FDFC PACE program.
