The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE) is a nonprofit organization that promotes responsible and equitable energy choices to ensure clean, safe, and healthy communities throughout the Southeast. As a leading voice for energy policy in our region, SACE is a regional organization focused on transforming the way we produce and consume energy in the Southeast.

2021年10月4日 · A new report by Energy Innovation finds that there is a growing consensus among expert researchers that achieving 80% clean electricity by 2030 would be feasible, affordable, reliable, and deeply beneficial to the economy and public health. The analysis examines 11 recent reports by universities, think tanks, nonprofits, and energy consultancies that study high penetrations of clean energy on ...

2021年6月14日 · A new SACE report, “Achieving 100% Clean Electricity in the Southeast: Enacting a Federal Clean Electricity Standard,” shows not only that is it possible for the four largest utilities in the Southeast to achieve 100% clean electricity, but there are several pathways to get there. A variety of different energy technologies and programs can be deployed to reach this goal. The key takeaway ...

2021年9月27日 · The report finds that the studies from researchers at prominent universities think tanks, nonprofits, and energy consultancies collectively affirm that achieving 80 percent clean electricity by 2030 is feasible, affordable, critical to meeting national climate goals, and deeply beneficial to the economy and public health—all without compromising power system reliability.

2023年3月27日 · Despite years of underinvestment on efficiency in the Southeast, a massive infusion of new federal funding and recent changes in utility resource planning create a once-in-a-generation opportunity to cash in our region's untapped energy efficiency reserves. Doing so now will lower customer energy bills, reduce the costs of shifting to renewables, and accelerate our path toward decarbonization ...

2023年3月27日 · Energy efficiency is a low-cost, clean energy resource that reduces energy waste and carbon emissions while lowering customer bills. But too many utilities, including some of the Southeast’s largest, fail to serve…

2021年7月15日 · The research, conducted by the Clean Energy Futures project–a team with researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology; Syracuse University; Harvard T.H. Chan Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment; and Resources for the Future–finds that an 80% clean electricity standard (CES) by 2030 would prevent hundreds of thousands of premature deaths and deliver well over a ...

2025年1月13日 · Energy efficiency is a proven low-cost, clean energy resource that reduces energy waste and carbon emissions while lowering customer bills. However, Southeastern utilities and regulators continue to underinvest and deprioritize it. As a result, the region lags behind the rest of the country in ...

2023年12月12日 · As the Clean Energy Generation, we have made a ton of progress this year – from committing to learning more about exciting clean energy funding opportunities and legislation, to making our voices heard in support of proposed power plant pollution rules, to volunteering in our local communities. In mere months, more than 500 of you have joined this movement to build momentum and harness the ...

ty under a federal Clean Electricity Standard (CES) policy. By pathway, we mean a combination of difer-ent resources that can be used to meet electricity demand, shift electricity demand, or reduce elec-tricity demand. The method used here is designed to provide high-level pathways. Each utility needs to perform its own analysis, modeling, and evaluation to determine its optimal pathway to 100 ...
