The Illinois Energy Conservation Authority, NFP (IECA), is an Illinois tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation that was formed to bring innovative C-PACE program administration to Illinois and currently administers programs in most of northern Illinois, along with other urban centers across the State. The IECA has compiled a team of Slipstream, partners, advisors, and consultants with deep ties to the region and extensive experience in serving the commercial real estate industry, as well as over eight years of experience in C-PACE around the country.

IECA is the leading C-PACE program administrator in the state and continues to expand adoption of the IECA PACE program to participating communities throughout Illinois. The IECA is uniquely positioned to assist the Greater Chicagoland area and outlying areas in establishing successful commercial PACE (C-PACE) programs that will support greater economic development activity, as well as contribute to developing high-performing buildings through the installation of energy efficiency and clean energy technologies.

Slipstream, a clean-energy focused nonprofit organization, provides core C-PACE Program Administration Services: the proprietary C-PACE technology platform, application management, and technical review. Slipstream’s role also includes the management of capital provider relationships, contractor qualification, along with providing marketing and training. Slipstream partners with utilities, local and state governments, regulatory agencies, and other organizations to create, test, deliver, and scale the next generation of energy efficiency and renewable energy programs that move us farther, faster toward a clean energy economy.
