YGRENE PROFILE

WHAT IS PACE PACE stands for “Property Assessed Clean Energy” PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) is a simple and effective way to finance energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation upgrades to buildings. PACE can pay for new heating and cooling systems, lighting improvements, solar panels, water pumps, insulation, wind mitigation and more for almost any property – homes, commercial, industrial, non-profit, and agricultural.

The concept was first conceived and proposed in the Monterey Bay Regional Energy Plan in 2005.

FLORIDA: passed its PACE enabling statute (Section 163.08, F.S.) in 2010, thanks to strong bipartisan legislative support and the efforts of many to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy measures for homes and commercial buildings throughout the state.

PACE IN FLORIDA Section 163.08, F.S 163.08 Supplemental authority for improvements to real property.— (1)(a) In chapter 2008-227, Laws of Florida, the Legislature amended the energy goal of the state comprehensive plan to provide, in part, that the state shall reduce its energy requirements through enhanced conservation and efficiency measures in all enduse sectors and reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide by promoting an increased use of renewable energy resources. That act also declared it the public policy of the state to play a leading role in developing and instituting energy management programs that promote energy conservation, energy security, and the reduction of greenhouse gases.

Broward Rolls Out Innovative PACE / Program “Broward County Commissioners have approved a county-wide property assessed clean energy (PACE) program that allows property owners to receive upfront financing for a variety of energy-related home improvements. Property owners then repay the debt through voluntary assessments on their property tax bills. This method of financing allows people to make significant energy improvements that may otherwise be cost prohibitive, and without impacting their credit scores�

Ygrene/ accelerates to statewide PACE Alliance lowers buy-in cost for local governments

“Since launching a few years ago, Ygrene (ygrene.us) has financed $140 million in approved projects in six counties with 40 cities, including Sacramento and Florida�.

PACE NEWS Improve your home, and take your time paying "In many cases, the project can be structured so that utility-bill savings are greater than the annual payment" due through PACE, Spector said. "So, basically you can replace your air conditioner for free.“ “So far, the Ygrene Green Corridor district has funded some 50 projects at an average loan amount of $22,250 each, Spector said”.

PACE Loan program for home energy improvements stalled January 9, 2015

“More than $7 million in PACE projects for homes and businesses have been financed in Miami-Dade since mid-2013”.

"We now have more than 1,000 applications received" for PACE projects in Dade cities, Spector said. "They're coming in at a rate of 20 to 30 per day. When we started, it was slow. We'd get maybe 10 a month.“ “Ygrene expects to offer up to $25 million in PACE loans in Dade cities this year.

PACE funding for homes and businesses countywide in Broward could top $50 million yearly, Spector estimates”.
