About Us

St. Louis County established the Missouri Energy Savings Program in December 2011, under Ordinance No. 69056. The ordinance established a Clean Energy Development District and associated Board to administer a PACE program within St. Louis County.

As part of the launch of the Missouri Energy Savings Program St. Louis Program, St. Louis County determined:

Investing in energy efficiency, water efficiency, and renewable energy improvements is financially beneficial over time, good for the environment, and aligned with County goals;
Upfront costs are a barrier to investments in major energy improvements for both commercial and residential property owners;
There are few financing options available that combine easy qualification, an attractive interest rate, and a relatively long repayment term.
