Paul Breglio is a PACEsetter. He’s showing other Connecticut manufacturers how green energy can help businesses thrive. When Paul needed to reduce energy costs at Crest Mechanical Services, he considered solar but was stalled by the cost. Then he discovered the C-PACE program that provided easy access to the financing required to make his project affordable. The rest was a no-brainer. That’s how PACEsetters like Paul are sparking the green energy movement.

“The C-PACE program allowed me to access low-cost and long-term financing to further support our desire to deploy solar energy and stabilize our energy costs over the long-term. The C-PACE program will allow me to re-evaluate all my energy systems in all of my Connecticut properties.”
