PETALUMA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ygrene Energy Fund, a national leader in clean energy financing, today
announced it will join international finance leaders to present at the
“The Future of Green ABS” webinar on Thursday, November 30 at 7:00am PST.
Recently, there has been increased activity of asset-backed securities
(ABS) that have introduced new, low-carbon assets to the securitization
market, such as solar leases and energy efficiency loans. The webinar
will focus on key topics to inform this growing trend, including:
- The State of the Industry
- Solar and PACE
- Developing Markets
- Regulatory Landscape
Speakers include Mike Lemyre, Senior Vice President, Government Affairs
at Ygrene Energy Fund; Rasool Alizadeh, Ygrene’s Head of Capital
Markets; Huub Mourits, Global Head of Structured Finance at TMF Group;
and Kathryn James, Senior Associate at Clifford Chance.
Hailed as one of the top 20 “world-changing” ideas by Scientific
American Magazine, PACE financing is an innovative program that enables
property owners to obtain 100 percent financing for seismic retrofits,
energy- and water-saving upgrades, onsite renewable energy generation
projects and, in some areas, hurricane protection and EV charging
stations. Payments are made with property taxes and repaid over long
terms, up to 20-plus years. Ygrene PACE financing is currently available
in California, Florida and Missouri. Cities or counties who incorporate
YgreneWorks into their environmental program can potentially help create
more local jobs, stimulate the local economy, achieve mandated CO2
reduction targets and help constituents lower their utility bills.
Earlier this year, Ygrene Energy Fund was recognized as “Esoteric ABS
Issues of the Year” by GlobalCapital’s U.S. Securitization Awards. The
publication further recognized further recognized Ygrene’s GoodGreen
2016-1 security as “Esoteric ABS Deal of the Year,” highlighting the
first-of-its-kind, AAA-rated, Green Bond-certified PACE securities as
unique within the industry. Ygrene was the first PACE provider to ever
receive this type of recognition.
