SOUTHERN ALLIANCE FOR CLEAN ENERGY

CLEAN ENERGY SACE PUBLISHED THE 7TH EDITION OF OUR SOLAR IN THE SOUTHEAST REPORT IN JULY 2024. WE ALSO PUBLISHED THE 5TH ANNUAL TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION IN THE SOUTHEAST IN OCTOBER 2024, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ATLAS PUBLIC POLICY, TO TRACK AND CONTEXTUALIZE THE SOUTHEASTS EV MARKET. THESE ANNUALLY- PUBLISHED REPORTS TRACK MARKET, UTILITY, AND PUBLIC POLICY TRENDS ACROSS THE REGION IMPACTING THE ADVANCEMENT (OR STALLS IN PROGRESS, WHEN APPROPRIATE) OF CLEAN ENERGY. THROUGH THESE ANNUAL REPORTS, SACE RANKS THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR REGION'S UTILITIES IN COMPARISON WITH THEIR REGIONAL AND NATIONAL PEERS. THESE KEY ANNUAL REPORTS PROVE TO BE IMMENSELY VALUABLE TOOLS WHEN WE APPEAR BEFORE UTILITIES AND REGULATORS, AS WELL AS IN OUR ADVOCACY FOR SMART PUBLIC POLICY. THROUGHOUT 2024, SACE CONTINUED OUR "ELECTRIFY THE SOUTH COLLABORATIVE" PROGRAM BY HOSTING 3 VIRTUAL ETS EVENTS FOCUSED ON WIDE RANGING TOPICS; AND WORKED TO PLAN AND EXECUTE OUR SECOND IN PERSON EVENT (IN FEBRUARY 2025).

CLIMATE TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT HOW CLEAN ENERGY IMPROVES LIVES, AND TO BUILD BRIDGES ACROSS POLITICAL AND SOCIAL DIFFERENCES HERE IN OUR DIVERSE REGION, SACE AND OUR PARTNERS SSDN AND GENERATION180 HAVE DEVELOPED ENERGY FOR ALL YALL, A NEW CAMPAIGN HIGHLIGHTING CLEAN ENERGY SUCCESSES, INSPIRING ACTION, AND DEMONSTRATING WHY CLEAN ENERGY IS GOOD FOR COMMUNITIES AND RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT OUR REGION. EFAY HAS ALREADY CREATED AN ARSENAL OF TRUE SUCCESS STORIES SHOWING THAT OUR FAMILIES ARE HEALTHIER, OUR POCKETS ARE FULLER, AND OUR AIR IS CLEANER WHEN WE MAKE THE SWITCH TO RELY ON CLEANER SOURCES OF ENERGY. SINCE LAUNCHING THE PROJECT IN JUNE 2024, WE HAVE PUBLISHED ~40 STORIES WITHIN OUR INITIAL TWO-STATE FOCUS (SAMPLES HERE: HTTPS://WWW.ENERGYFORALLYALL.ORG/STORIES), AND HAVE WIDELY SHARED THEM VIA SOCIAL AND TRADITIONAL MEDIA, ACHIEVING 500+ MILLION MEDIA IMPRESSIONS. SACE'S CLEAN ENERGY GENERATION CONTINUED TO HOLD MONTHLY CALLS, DISTRIBUTE MONTHLY NEWSLETTERS, AND INVITE OUR MEMBERS FROM AROUND THE REGION TO TAKE ACTION TO SUPPORT CLEAN ENERGY POLICY. THROUGH THE CLEAN ENERGY GENERATION CAMPAIGN, WE HAVE WORKED WITH OUR MEMBERS TO SHARE STORIES AND PERSPECTIVES ABOUT TAKING ACTION FOR CLIMATE AND CLEAN ENERGY AND HAVE SHARED MANY ACTION OPPORTUNITIES SUCH AS PETITIONS, CALL-IN DAYS, AND EVENTS.
