History

Simple Energy was founded in 2010 by longtime friends Yoav Lurie and Justin Segall, classmates at Duke University. The two had met on a backpacking trip in Pisgah National Forest in 2000.

Green Button

In September 2011, then-US CTO Aneesh Chopra challenged the energy industry to model a Green Button, off the successful Blue Button, where energy providers would give energy users their consumption data in an easy to read and use format at the click of the button. In January 2012, Simple Energy became the first third-party application developer to implement the Green Button standard to deploy publicly available applications.
