Determine Eligibility

The first step to participate in the Philadelphia C-PACE program is determining eligibility for C-PACE financing. Learn more on the Eligibility page or contact PEA for more information.

Submit Pre-Application

The Pre-Application Form must be prepared by a Property Owner or its designated representative and submitted to CPACE@philaenergy.org. Once a Pre-Application is submitted, the Program Administrator will determine if the Property is eligible for the C-PACE Program and if the project falls within the parameters of the Program Guidelines. This review will typically be completed within five (5) business days of receipt of a completed Pre-Application. Pre-Application Form is available on the Program Resources page.

Submit Final Application Package to PEA

The Final Application for a C-PACE Project should be prepared and submitted by a Property Owner or its designated representative after receiving Pre-Application approval. Once a Final Application is received, PEA will review it for completeness and accuracy to ensure the project complies with the Program Guidelines. PEA will typically provide the Property Owner with written Notice of Philadelphia C-PACE Approval or request for more information within fifteen (15) business days of a submission of a completed Final Application.
