Nonresidential

The Nonresidential program will be available to:

• for-profit businesses
• nonprofit organizations
• public entities

Like all the programs highlighted on GoGreen Financing, the Nonresidential program is designed to encourage growth in private market lending. The program brings attractive financing for building energy efficiency, distributed generation and demand response projects to be repaid on the utility bill. The flexibility of this program allows the combination of financing with investor-owned utility rebates and other incentives.

Note that finance companies and contractors who serve smaller for-profit businesses and nonprofit organizations may be interested in the Small Business program.

At least 70% of the financed amount must be Energy Savings Measures, demand response or distributed generation. Up to 30% of the financed amount may fund nonenergy efficiency improvements.

Loans, leases, equipment finance agreements, energy service agreements

Owned or leased property must receive electric and/or gas service from any of the following investor-owned utilities:*

• Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E®)
• San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E®)
• Southern California Edison (SCE)
• Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas®)

Repayment occurs through the utility bill
