C-PACE outlook amid economic and political shifts

The current U.S. administration’s focus on energy independence, efficiency and pro-business policies are expected to provide favorable conditions for Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) to continue to scale.

From a policy standpoint, C-PACE is a state and locally legislated program which has received support from both Republican and Democratic controlled states, and has been passed under all presidential administrations since its inception in 2008. As markets adapt to volatile political and economic landscapes, we expect the asset class to continue to offer investors stable returns and opportunity.

Key highlights discussed include:

Insulation from federal policy shifts
Durability of sustainability in commercial real estate (CRE)
Macroeconomic tailwinds for originations growth
C-PACE in times of volatility
