What Show Me PACE does

Show Me PACE is a Missouri-based commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing program established in 2010 and administered by Missouri Energy Initiative (MEI), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The program enables property owners to fund energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements through a special tax assessment authorized under Missouri state statute, with 100% upfront project financing offered via fixed-rate loans of up to 20 years and no use of taxpayer funds.

The platform functions as an open market C-PACE administrator that connects Missouri-based property owners with more than 20 approved private capital providers, all of whom must be approved by the Clean Energy Development Board (CEDB). MEI runs program administration, coordinates with municipalities, and routes assessment servicing to third-party servicer AmeriNat at $400 per assessment per year. Coverage extends to 80+ Missouri communities including Kansas City and spans commercial, industrial, agricultural, nonprofit, multifamily, and institutional sectors, with each participating municipality required to pass a local PACE ordinance.

Show Me PACE generates revenue through two fee streams: a one-time application fee of 1.25% on projects under $1,000,000 (1% capped at $40,000 on larger projects), and annual administrative servicing fees of 1% of collected amounts capped at $1,000 per year. MEI also operates the Set The PACE St. Louis and St. Louis County PACE Energy Savings Program and is Chair of PACENation Administrator Subcommittee and a 2020 PACESetter Award recipient.
