Governor Hassan's Statement on Signing HB 205

Statement

Governor Maggie Hassan issued the following statement after today signing HB 205, relative to lending practices of energy efficiency and clean energy districts:

"As we work to reduce energy costs and build a more affordable, reliable and innovative energy future, we know that a successful long-term strategy must include stepping up our energy efficiency efforts and supporting small-scale clean energy projects. New Hampshire's PACE program has the potential to boost local energy efficiency and clean energy efforts that are critical to reducing energy costs for municipalities, businesses and homeowners, and protecting our natural resources. House Bill 205 will make it easier for our municipalities to secure private financing for projects through this program. I thank Representative Carol McGuire, legislators from both parties and advocates from the Jordan Institute for their support of this bipartisan legislation, and I am proud to sign it into law."
