EnergyCA · A guide for public agencies
Cut energy costs and keep critical facilities running, without waiting on incentives.
01 · The problem
Storage, efficiency and resilience projects pay for themselves over time, but the capital is needed up front, and state and utility incentives arrive after the work is done.
02 · How it works
- We scope the project and identify the incentives it qualifies for.
- Your board approves the financing.
- CalMuni PFA issues the financing, competed among banks, institutional investors or underwriters.
- Incentives are applied as they arrive, and the project is repaid over its useful life.
03 · What you get
- Capital at the start of construction, sized around the incentives.
- Tax-exempt, fixed-rate financing.
- Federal credits where still available, confirmed project by project.
04 · What it takes
- Free CalMuni PFA membership, with no obligation to finance.
- Project scope, cost estimate and your recent financial statements.
05 · Questions
- What can be financed?
- Battery storage and backup power, HVAC and electrification, lighting and controls, microgrids, and solar paired with storage.
- Are federal credits still available?
- For some technologies and timelines. We confirm eligibility for each project with counsel.
