Ygrene was first established in the spring of 2006 when Dennis Hunter and Alan Strachan created the Green Energy Loan program. The focus of the Green Energy Loan program was to acquire private funding to address the problem of climate change.

Recognizing the potential for PACE and the role private capital could play in its growth, Ygrene entered into discussions with Barclays Capital to secure the strong financial partnership that would provide the backbone for financing energy retrofits. With strategic and tactical partnerships in place around the country, Ygrene is now in a position to offer a no-cost PACE program design, administration, and funding to cities and counties throughout the United States.
