What is the PACE Alliance?

The Mid-Atlantic PACE Alliance is a partnership between stakeholders in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia to accelerate the implementation of Commercial PACE programs and projects in the region.

The Mid-Atlantic PACE Alliance is a collaboration between the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals, and Energy (DMME), the District of Columbia Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE), the Maryland Clean Energy Center (MCEC), and other industry and non-for-profit partners.

Our goal is to be a comprehensive resource on all things Commercial PACE for local governments, property owners, energy contractors, and capital providers working in the DMV region.
Where is PACE in the Mid-Atlantic?

Virginia enabled local governments to implement PACE programs in 2015.  A growing number of governments, businesses and organizations, including Arlington County, the Virginia Energy Efficiency Council (VAEEC), Abacus Property Solutions, Sustainable Real Estate Solutions (SRS), and DMME, are actively providing education and outreach for PACE in Virginia.  Working together through MAPA, we engage local governments, contractors, lenders and building owners to build support for PACE in the Commonwealth.

 Arlington County and its C-PACE program administrator (Sustainable Real Estate Solutions) launched Virginia’s first C-PACE Program in January, 2018. Arlington’s C-PACE Program is designed to enable other Virginia local governments to quickly and efficiently set up their own local PACE programs at low cost to the jurisdiction. In November 2018, Fredericksburg passed a commercial pace-enabling ordinance, and now has an active C-PACE program. In February 2019, Loudon County also passed PACE-enabling ordinance.   ​As other local governments establish C-PACE programs in Virginia, we will update this information.

In just a few short years, 17 jurisdictions in Maryland have enabled C-PACE programs. Of these, 15 have opted in to the MD-PACE program, a statewide program offered by the Maryland Clean Energy Center and PACE Financial Servicing. Montgomery County and Prince George’s County operate their own C-PACE programs, Montgomery County in partnership with PACE Financial Servicing.
