Nonprofits are interested in lowering their utility bills and reducing their carbon footprint; however, finding the funds to implement projects is a challenge. Attendees will learn how nonprofits in Minnesota are using a new tool called Property Assessed Clean Energy, or PACE financing, to affordably implement energy efficiency and solar projects. More than 300 businesses and nonprofits are collectively saving over $10 million annually thanks to this innovative financing tool.
The Bite-Sized Learning events are designed by MCN’s Greater Minnesota team to keep us connected across the state. While the topics are chosen to meet the needs of Greater Minnesota, all are welcome here! Each event will have a short presentation along with plenty of time for networking and discussion on the designated topic. Bring your questions and expertise on the topic! With our cameras and microphones on, we can stay connected, learn, and support one another.
