Who is Energy Alabama?

 Energy Alabama is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2014. The mission of Energy Alabama is to provide public education and outreach on issues that will advance the adoption of clean energy in our state. Energy Alabama has four core values: Equity, Markets, Sustainability, and Common Cause. The energy transition lies at the intersection of public health, economics, and politics. We believe that any change in energy policy must be rooted in economic, social, and environmental benefits for all Alabamians.

 Sustainable energy matters to us all.

Clean and sustainable energy is Goal 7 in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. If you are interested in sustainability, the energy transition should be at the forefront of your mind. Equitable access to clean and sustainable energy is vital to the development of business, transportation, communications, education, and healthcare. Lack of access to energy hinders development. Lack of access to clean energy only advances inequities.

Laurel Holmes is the Education Manager at Energy Alabama.
