今日，SD市议会推迟了一项有利于San Diego业主资助太阳能系统安装项目的计划。市议会这样做主要是由于Fannie Mae和Freddie Mac等贷款机构要求该彻查此方案直至明确无误。
市议会未经表决就将此清洁发电计划送回了市长Jerry Sanders的办公室，以待联邦政策改变或等待最近日即将公布的诉讼结果。
该市的此计划要求物业分摊清洁能源（PACE）。根据该计划，政府将为居民安装太阳能系统提供财政支持，居民所获资助资金将在未来20年内通过财产税偿还。
近日，Fannie Mae 及Freddie最近称PACE只是贷款方案，而非财产估价，这与他们的规则相悖。这一决定可能威胁到全国各地正在将设的太阳能工程。
国家总检察长Jerry Brown起诉了阻止该方案执行Fannie Mae 及Freddie Mac两家公司。官员们则希望联邦改变立法允许该方案。
The City Council today put on hold a program that would help San Diego property owners finance the installation of solar energy systems, following a call by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for mortgage lenders to steer clear of the programs.
The City Council sent the proposed Clean Generation Program back to Mayor Jerry Sanders' office, without a vote, pending a federal policy change or the outcome of recently announced litigation.
The city's program was a Property Assessed Clean Energy, or PACE, program which would provide financial assistance to residents to install solar energy systems, which would then be repaid over a 20-year period on their property tax bill.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac recently declared PACE programs a loan, instead of an assessment, making them impermissible under their rules. The decision could threaten PACE programs now in the works around the country.
In response, state Attorney General Jerry Brown is suing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for blocking implementation of the program. Officials are also pursuing federal legislative changes that would permit the programs.
