Why Use CAEATFA Bond Financing?
CAEATFA is the State’s main issuer of private activity bonds that can provide long term financing (up to 30 years) through the tax exempt bond market compared to the 10 to 15 year maturities more commonly seen in the taxable market. Other than the U.S. Treasury bond market, there is no comparable long-term financial market anywhere in the world.
This tax exempt bond financing is also a low cost method of financing a project, with interest costs typically a few percent less than commercial loans. This lower cost financing can encourage rapid deployment and make projects that use near-zero emission heating and/or cooling technologies more financially feasible.
