Clean Energy Buyers Association (CEBA)

Nearly 800 professionals from around the country gathered in Denver for CEBA Connect: Spring Summit. CEBA members came together to tackle the toughest challenges in the energy sector, collaborate on innovative solutions, and accelerate the transition to a clean, equitable, and sustainable future. This pivotal event showcased groundbreaking discussions and strategies that will shape our industry's future. We are excited to share highlights from our flagship event in May, where you'll get a feel for how engaging and impactful this event — filled with CEBA staff, experts, government officials, entrepreneurs, and more — truly is.

Vietnam’s issuance of a final decree on establishing a direct power purchase agreement (DPPA) for large energy customers will enable customers to procure electricity through high-impact renewable energy projects and is an important step in helping Vietnam reach its goals to reduce emissions 15.8% by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. https://lnkd.in/gWb7snN5 "The DPPA will provide a reliable and attractive procurement option for CEBA members and their supply chain partners in Vietnam and will drive clean energy investment, development, and deployment to power the country's rapidly growing economy." — Eric Gibbs, CEBA’s senior vice president of global programs

Last week, we had an incredible time at the Reuters Global Energy Transition event in NYC! Senior Director Sarah Mihalecz facilitated a thought-provoking workshop alongside industry leaders Rob Threlkeld from General Motors and Emily Williams from Trio. In the session on a customer-driven clean energy transition, discussions highlighted procurement and investment strategies, innovative solutions to market challenges, and future market trends. Sarah interviewed Sayun Sukduang, CEO of ENGIE Resources, discussing the crucial roles of customers and retailers in managing risk. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to these impactful discussions. Together, we are driving the clean energy transition! #GET24 #CleanEnergy #CleanEnergyTransition

Josh Kaplan represented CEBA at the Green Sports Alliance Summit this month in Los Angeles. Sports leaders and innovators from across the country came together to learn about @NASCAR's ambitious sustainability journey toward achieving zero operating emissions by 2035.    The session delved into:  🏎️ NASCAR's clean energy journey and how they’re starting their decarbonization efforts.  💡 Big ideas around goal-setting and key priorities.  💻 Operational focus, new technologies, and leadership buy-in.  🔋 The importance of resources like CEBA's Energy Customer Boot Camp, which helps organizations accelerate their sustainability efforts.    We explored available clean energy options for members like NASCAR, encouraging collaboration, and impactful action across the industry.   #FasterFurther #24GSASummit #CleanEnergy

CEBA members won’t want to miss our June Energy Community Call next week on June 27 at 2 PM ET! The session will explore hydropower as part of a carbon-free energy strategy for energy customers, including a strong lineup of expert speakers from the private and public sector.   Hydropower, with its flexibility, is increasingly valuable alongside wind and solar in decarbonizing the grid. We'll cover insights from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) U.S. Hydropower Market Report and hear from Chris Pennington, Director of Energy and Sustainability Iron Mountain on their experience with hydropower PPAs, including opportunities and challenges for clean energy customers, as well as Rocio Uria, Senior R&D staff from Oak Ridge National Laboratory.    We look forward to our CEBA members joining us to learn how hydropower can help achieve carbon-free energy goals.     CEBA members can register here: https://lnkd.in/dsXrmyEU To become a member and access events like this, visit: https://lnkd.in/dzmwfC3z    #CleanEnergy #Hydropower #EnergyCommunityCall 

CEBA welcomes the U.S. Senate's passage of S. 870, which included a bipartisan, bicameral compromise of the Atomic Energy Advancement Act (H.R. 6544) and the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy (ADVANCE) Act (S. 1111). "Corporate interest in advanced nuclear energy technologies is growing as companies recognize the need for clean, firm sources of electricity,” said Kyle L. Davis, the Clean Energy Buyers Association’s senior director of federal affairs. “The ADVANCE Act will modernize the system of licensing and regulation, creating a more supportive policy environment for advanced nuclear as part of modernizing and expanding our electricity grid. Taking steps to enable the development and deployment of these technologies is critical to maintaining United States global leadership in nuclear energy." https://lnkd.in/g2A_eTFR
