With a focus on establishing whether climate target can be met under different strategies and policies, this study introduce an innovative financing scheme for renewable deployment. Financing barriers represent the main obstacle for energy improvements, particularly for low-income household who are unable to borrow at any prices as the result of their economic status or “credit worthiness”. Implementing a policy as PACE – Property Assessed Clean Energy – means provide the up-front funds for residential and commercial property owners to install electric and thermal solar systems and make energy-efficiency improvements to their buildings. This model enables local governments to raise money through the issuance of bonds to fund clean energy projects. The financing is repaid over a set number of years through a “special tax” or assessment on the property tax bill of property owners. Private sectors as banks, financial institutions, venture capital, provide the necessary funds which will be guaranteed by governments. This study focus on the construction and risk/benefit assessment of PACE in the Italian context. Additional public private financing mechanisms are fundamental in order to overcome initial financing risks and cash flow barriers; public finance through innovative financing instruments, such as PACE model, can mobilize and leverage the required private monies. A key question is how policy can create the framework conditions for energy investments to happen. Unlocking the investment potential of the private sector and individual consumers presents a major challenge for Italy.
Nell’ottemperare i target climatici attraverso differenti tecnologie e politiche di sostegno, questo studio introduce un innovativo modello finanziario per la diffusione delle energie rinnovabili. Le barriere di carattere finanziario rappresentano il principale ostacolo all’avvio degli interventi di efficientamento, in particolar modo per i nuclei familiari a basso reddito che difficilmente riescono ad aver accesso al credito, come risultato della loro condizione economica e “merito creditizio”. Implementare una politica come il PACE – Property Assessed Clean Energy – significa provvedere all’investimento iniziale per conto dei proprietari di immobili residenziali, interessati all’installazione di sistemi fotovoltaici e termali nonché interventi di efficienza energetica. Questo modello consente ai governi locali di raccogliere risorse attraverso l’emissione di obbligazioni dedicate al finanziamento di progetti energetici puliti. Il finanziamento erogato è recuperato attraverso un aumento concordato della durata di 20 anni di un’imposta legata all’immobile oggetto dell’intervento. Il settore privato come banche, istituti finanziari, venture capital forniscono i fondi necessari garantiti dal governo.

Abstract
With a focus on establishing whether climate target can be met under different strategies and policies, this study introduce an innovative financing scheme for renewable deployment. Financing barriers represent the main obstacle for energy improvements, particularly for low-income household who are unable to borrow at any prices as the result of their economic status or “credit worthiness”. Implementing a policy as PACE – Property Assessed Clean Energy – means provide the up-front funds for residential and commercial property owners to install electric and thermal solar systems and make energy-efficiency improvements to their buildings. This model enables local governments to raise money through the issuance of bonds to fund clean energy projects. The financing is repaid over a set number of years through a “special tax” or assessment on the property tax bill of property owners. Private sectors as banks, financial institutions, venture capital, provide the necessary funds which will be guaranteed by governments. This study focus on the construction and risk/benefit assessment of PACE in the Italian context. Additional public private financing mechanisms are fundamental in order to overcome initial financing risks and cash flow barriers; public finance through innovative financing instruments, such as PACE model, can mobilize and leverage the required private monies. A key question is how policy can create the framework conditions for energy investments to happen. Unlocking the investment potential of the private sector and individual consumers presents a major challenge for Italy.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
