📢 NEW CEBA STUDY: Constraining new solar and wind could come at a price: $121.2 BILLION over seven years. Our analysis modeled baseline and high-load-growth scenarios in which new solar and wind resources were and were not allowed to compete against other generation sources beginning in 2027 through 2033.

An important conversation on permitting reform at the @AtlanticCouncil Global Energy Forum. @powellrich moderated a discussion with @SenArmstrong who is passionate about siting and transmission. The time is now to pass tech-neutral permitting forum for all infrastructure.

Last month our⚡️energized⚡️community came together to connect, collaborate, and learn during three impactful days in Seattle, CEBA. Reliver the highlights! youtu.be/7EQO7iOs6_E Special thanks to all who contributed to this incredible event. Keep an eye out for next year’s dates and location announcement later this summer! #CEBASummit2026 hashtag#PoweringOurFuture

📰 Big news out of Texas today! ERCOT just approved a transformative new initiative: a voluntary, market-based Energy Attribute Certificate (EAC) system designed to accelerate advanced energy development & economic growth across the state. EACs are tracking instruments that provide customers with detailed information about where and when their electricity was generated & the resources used to produce it. Learn more ⤵️

Highlights from CEBA CEO @powellrich keynote speech yesterday at DC Climate Week: ⚡️ CEBA has tracked 130.3 GW of corporate clean energy deals since 2014 ☀️ Solar still leads, but nuclear, geothermal, hydro, fusion, and CCS are rising 🏛 Congress must pass permitting & transmission reform to meet surging demand CEBA is proud to be a Gold sponsor for DC Climate Week.

🎉 The Georgia Public Service Commission just unanimously approved a CEBA-backed clean energy program to support demand growth — offering a model other states can follow. “As national and state leaders seek to meet increasing economic demand while alleviating price pressure on ratepayers, Georgia’s program offers a smart solution that can serve as a model for other parts of the country.” -@NidhiJThakar Learn more about the first-of-its-kind Customer Identified Resource Program ⤵️ ceba.org/georgia-regulators-…

Corporate buyers are shaping U.S. clean energy markets. 👇 ⚡Clean firm is here to stay, particularly nuclear, but solar is still the main technology contracted. 📈 Organized wholesale markets enable most corporate clean energy procurement. 📣 Corporate demand is still driving clean energy growth despite tough conditions.

Today we’re sharing a refreshed CEBA brand.  While our look is new, our mission remains the same: activating energy buyers and partners to advance low-cost, reliable, carbon emissions-free global electricity systems. New look. Same mission. Greater momentum. Learn more about our evolution: ceba.org/a-new-look-for-ceba…

Thanks @SPGlobal for a productive #CERAWeek, where the CEBA team discussed the urgent need for resource-agnostic permitting reform to ensure affordable, reliable electricity for all. CEO @powellrich took to the stage to explain how leading corporate buyers are funding solutions. From bringing new generation and storage online to covering grid upgrade costs, CEBA members are actively working with utilities and communities to ensure that growth does not come at the cost of reliability or affordability. The team also had a flurry of informative meetings with member organizations, administration officials, and media. @SusanKBuehler

“Our economic future depends upon lawmakers acting now, because permitting reform is not a partisan issue; it’s an American competitiveness issue.” -@powellrich Read the latest from our CEO in @_LatitudeMedia on the need for permitting reform to meet rising electricity demand and unlock the potential of the American economy: latitudemedia.com/news/want-…

🚀 CEBA members are leading the way on affordability commitments. Several CEBA members signed the Ratepayer Protection Pledge at the White House yesterday, as major tech companies furthered their commitment to build, bring, or buy the power their data centers need — without shifting costs to households. The bigger story? A generational wave of private investment in new, carbon emissions-free electricity that is reshaping America’s energy landscape. And CEBA members are driving those deals to support their growing operations. Here’s what they’re delivering: @amazon → 40 GW of capacity across 700 projects; advancing next-generation nuclear, with agreements to scale up to 960 MW @Google → 22 GW of clean energy globally, investing in nuclear, geothermal, and long-duration storage @Meta → Announced one of the largest corporate clean energy purchases in history this year: 6.6 GW of clean, reliable power by 2035 @Microsoft → Community-First AI Infrastructure to avoid ratepayer impacts @Oracle → Paying for grid upgrades in partnership with local utilities or building data centers with on-site generation on or near its campuses Corporate buyers have procured 127+ GW of carbon emissions‑free energy since 2014, showcasing their commitment to these reliable resources. At CEBA, our mission is to advance the policy and market solutions needed to accelerate low-cost, reliable, carbon emissions-free electricity systems — in that order. America’s largest energy customers are reshaping the grid faster than ever before. The next frontier: modernizing the nation’s permitting processes so these projects can reach the communities that need them most. Read more from CEBA CEO @powellrich: cebuyers.org/pledge-for-powe…

Big week for CEBA members @Nike and @Equinix advancing clean energy procurement in Japan! Both companies have announced major new clean energy agreements, demonstrating strong corporate leadership and continued progress toward global carbon‑free electricity goals. Partnering with in-country developers, CEBA members are helping expand market access to clean power in this important economic region. CEBA’s Global Programs team continues to work with our members, the Japanese government, and other stakeholders to build momentum for low-cost, reliable, carbon emissions-free energy. We look forward to celebrating more announcements like these from @Nike and @Equinix! Read more: newsroom.equinix.com/2026-02… theclimategroup.org/our-work…

🚀 Corporate demand for affordable, reliable, carbon emissions‑free energy is accelerating — and CEBA members are driving much of that momentum. ⚡ CEBA sponsored the annual #SustainableEnergy in America #2026Factbook from the @BCSECleanEnergy and @BloombergNEF, a go-to resource for tracking energy trends. 📈 At events this week, @NidhiJThakar and @Kyle Davis joined experts to discuss the latest market and policy trends. Despite shifting market dynamics and policy uncertainty, corporate procurement of clean energy reached a record high in 2025. Companies signed new deals for wind and solar but also for clean firm technologies, including nuclear, fusion, geothermal, hydropower, and carbon capture technologies, to meet rising U.S. energy needs. 📣 “What we still see is a very strong market for carbon emission-free procurement.” -@NidhiJThakar 🔗 Check out @KirstenErrick's coverage in @SPGlobal: spglobal.com/market-intellig… And check out the factbook and other resources: bcse.org/market-trends/

📣 Utility regulators will need to “thread the needle” on affordability while enabling the next wave of U.S. innovation. — CEBA Senior Vice President of Policy @NidhiJThakar discussed the growing need to keep electricity costs in check as power demand surges. 🏗️ On a panel at @NARUC's Winter Policy Summit, Nidhi highlighted that expanding programs allowing large customers to bring their own clean energy online can enhance reliability and reduce long‑term costs. For instance, she cited Georgia Power’s integrated resource plan that will allow CEBA members to purchase up to 3,000 megawatts of resources through 2035, a program developed in collaboration with CEBA staff. 🔗 Check out @zackhale's full story in @SPGMarketIntel to learn more about the policy pathways shaping power affordability and grid modernization. spglobal.com/market-intellig…

CEBA applauds @Meta on its latest commitment to clean energy procurement: 6.6 GW of clean, reliable nuclear power. This investment is one of the largest clean energy purchases in U.S. history. Meta's announcement builds on momentum from 2025, when CEBA members procured more than 24 GW of clean energy. CEBA CEO Rich Powell: "Meta's latest commitment ... demonstrates the critical role energy buyers are playing in meeting growing electricity demand and supporting economic growth."
