AllianceNRG Program Approved in Kern County
Industry: Financial Services
Innovative Program Provides Home & Commercial Property owners Financing for Energy and Water Efficiency & Renewable Energy Upgrades with No Out-of-Pocket Costs
Kern County, California (PRUnderground) October 11th, 2016
The Kern County Board of Supervisors voted to make the AllianceNRG ProgramTM available to Kern County residents and businesses. The AllianceNRG Program makes energy and water-saving renovations affordable for property owners by providing financing for 100% of the project and closing costs. The financing is repaid through an assessment on your property tax bill. The term is up to the useful life of the improvements up to 30 years. The AllianceNRG Program is one of the leading property assessed clean energy (PACE) programs in the country.
In addition to helping property owners save on energy and water bills, the AllianceNRG Program spurs local job creation by increasing demand for contractors and supplier services. The AllianceNRG Program will help create more jobs in Kern County.
“The Board’s approval of Open PACE expands options for Kern County homeowners and businesses to make wise energy- and water-saving improvements that lower their bills, create new jobs, and help our environment,” Board of Supervisors Chairman Mick Gleason said.
