SB 54 Delaware Senate · 151st General Assembly (2021-2022)

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE DELAWARE VOLUNTARY CLEAN ENERGY FINANCING PROGRAM BASED ON PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS (D-PACE) OR OTHER LOCAL ASSESSMENT STATUTE.

Summary
This bill makes certain technical amendments to the Delaware Voluntary Clean Energy Financing Program Based on Property Assessments (D-PACE) Act. The amendments are based upon comments received from New Castle County and the lending community. The bill clarifies the interplay between the Act and existing tax and foreclosure sale statutes and that the lien for the energy improvements will remain with the property following a tax monition sale and mortgage foreclosure. It also clarifies the authority of the Sustainable Energy Utility and third party capital providers to enforce the lien for delinquent assessments for clean energy improvements.
