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…

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

Getting ready for the Super Bowl of energy conferences. #CERAWeek

Doin’ DC with my favorite lobbyist. @REnglandDC lots of meetings on behalf of @CleanEnergyBA members on permitting reform.

“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-econ…

🚀 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-pow…

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/2026-02-16-Equ… theclimategroup.org/our-work/press…

🚀 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-intelli… 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-intelli…

There is no question that the time is now to deliver permitting reform.

Important conversation moderated by @powellrich @CleanEnergyBA

Bipartisan momentum isn’t limited to the House. @SenMcCormickPA and @SenatorHick join #PermittingSummit26 to share how @EnergyGOP @EnergyDems are thinking about permitting reform. Watch live: ow.ly/r7x550Y8uXV

@JesseJenkins @Ben_Geman @RobGramlichDC Yep @CleanEnergyBA policy gurus coined the phrase years ago and it stuck! Now it’s underway in Georgia.

@Ben_Geman "she has potential" LoL! No harm done here. I first saw the turn of phrase/acronym used by Jim Lazar at RAP and am told @RobGramlichDC and folks at CEBA may have been the originators. Whoever it is: they're a genius, and I will mercilously rip them off forever...

Oops. I wrongly wrote in today's Future of Energy newsletter that @JesseJenkins coined the term BYONCE (Bring Your Own New Clean Energy). Jesse never claimed he coined it. I read too much into his post lauding it. I hope this helps Beyoncé's career take off. She has potential.

Aging power grids, rising energy demand and the importance of permitting reform. Here's a great podcast with @CleanEnergyBA CEO @powellrich capitalmarkets.bmo.com/en/insights/cl…

Great event today.

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."

🎊 New year, new grid. It's time to get the U.S. electricity system back into shape — pumping iron and getting steel in the ground 💪 Check out CEBA CEO @powellrich's four recommendations to shape up the power system ⤵️ cebuyers.org/blog/shaping-u…

The @CleanEnergyBA recently issued a report about record levels of clean firm power contracts, and #nuclear was responsible for a prrrrretty big chunk. Let's see about breaking new records next year 💪👇 cebuyers.org/blog/mapping-t…

We hope the Senate will now take this language and strengthen those protections for existing and new projects needed to maintain grid reliability and meet growing electricity demand. The Senate also has a chance to pair this language with reasonable reforms to expand America’s transmission system. We call on Sens. Shelley Moore Capito, Sheldon Whitehouse, Mike Lee, and Martin Heinrich to move beyond trading concepts toward more active negotiations. The time is now, the issues are understood, and America can’t wait any longer."

Corporate energy customers like @Amazon have been key to bringing new energy resources online and developing needed infrastructure, supporting an ecosystem of low-cost, reliable, clean energy. As of 2025, about 3% of clean energy online is due to corporate energy customers. We are excited to see further analysis of how corporate energy customers are working with regulators to enhance the power system and provide benefits to communities - check out this new @ethree_inc study: ethree.com/ratepayer-stud…
