CFA, Others Call on DOE to Strengthen Consumer Protections in PACE Program Guidelines
Consumer Federation of America has joined a sign on letter calling on the Department of Energy to strengthen consumer protections in PACE program guidelines. Well-designed energy-efficiency programs can not only help the environment but can enable homeowners to reap the benefits of energy savings. However, the guidelines as currently drafted must do more to balance these benefits by more clearly highlighting the serious risks that some PACE programs can pose, and must emphasize the responsibility of state and local governments to address risks created by government-sponsored PACE programs.
