Maine Revised Statutes Title 35-A. Public Utilities § 10157. Property owners

1. Purchase of goods and services. A property owner who has entered into a PACE agreement under this chapter may purchase directly all goods and services for the energy savings improvements described in the PACE agreement, subject to vendor certification by the trust and other requirements of the trust. Goods and services purchased by a property owner for the energy savings improvements under a PACE agreement are not subject to any public procurement ordinance or statute.

2. Rights; carbon emissions reductions. Property owners retain all rights under contract or law against parties other than the municipality or the trust with respect to energy savings improvements financed through PACE agreements, except that all rights related to carbon emissions reductions resulting from those improvements are deemed to be assigned by the property owner to the trust and are held by the trust.
