Alabama
Policy Priorities
We’re working to bring sustainable energy to all of Alabama. Our major focuses include creating and expanding energy efficiency opportunities, especially for low-income Alabamians to reduce their monthly utility costs. We are ensuring that federal funding from the Inflation Reduction Act is used to help Alabamians, including the retirement of uneconomical coal use by electric cooperatives. We are also working to expand the use of clean energy, such as solar and battery storage, across the state.
