Abstract
This thesis describes the potential of new legislation in Louisiana to provide municipal financing for energy efficient building retrofits and distributed renewable energy. First, the thesis identifies how energy efficiency loan funds should be structured so as to access public debt markets. Second, it reviews current best practices in the field of Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) bonds. Then it discusses the current energy efficiency and renewable energy market in New Orleans, LA. Finally, the thesis discusses the policy and market changes necessary to implement LA Senate Bill 224 authorizing PACE districts in Louisiana.
