Event Description
Join us for a special webinar this month: PACE - The Battle to Save It and What Comes Next.
FREE for Build It Green Members, only $10 for non-members.
Description: Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) allows property owners to pay for energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements to their homes via an annual assessment on their property. This approach became a central part of the Obama Administration's "Recovery Through Retrofit" initiative and had been authorized in 24 states. However, recent actions by federal regulators have frozen most residential PACE programs.
This webinar will discuss the status of PACE as well as efforts underway to resolve the federal regulatory issues. Perhaps most importantly, the webinar will include lessons learned from PACE programs and outline the financing options being made available in the absence of PACE.

Biography
Cisco DeVries, President, Renewable Funding LLC
Cisco DeVries is President of Renewable Funding, which helps local and state governments around the country design, administer and finance clean energy initiatives such as the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program. Renewable Funding has been contracted to provide services to over 250 local and state governments throughout the country.
DeVries also serves as a resource to governments and organizations working on PACE and other clean energy financing programs, including providing technical assistance for the U.S. Department of Energy.

As Chief of Staff to the Mayor of Berkeley, he envisioned and led the initial development of the PACE model, which allows property owners to pay for solar installations and energy efficiency projects as a line item on their property tax bill. The model has been replicated around the country and has spurred state enabling legislation in 23 states. PACE has received national and international attention, including being named one of the 20 “world-changing” ideas by Scientific American magazine.
Previously, while with the San Francisco firm Staton & Hughes, DeVries provided policy, media, and political guidance for a wide variety of clients from Members of Congress to Fortune 500 companies.
From 1996 to 1998, DeVries was an appointee in the administration of President Bill Clinton, serving as an aide to the U.S. Secretary of Transportation and the U.S. Secretary of Energy.

Our PACE program, Sonoma County Energy Independence Program (SCEIP), is alive and well. Our county supervisors are fighting the Feds in court. We are and will continue to lead the way to true energy independence! PACE works. Some things in life are worth fighting for. Keeping our planet habitable for our species is certainly worth all our efforts. The SCEIP program has actually increased construction employment here, reduced tons of carbon emissions and makes residential and commercial str
