On Feb. 3, SREA joined a coalition of renewable energy associations in filing a supplemental amicus in support of FERC in the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, supporting the longstanding interpretation of PURPA that "power production capacity" reasonably means the amount of power that a facility is capable of producing to the grid, and thus the "80 megawatts" limit on small power production facilities should be AC rather than DC.
Southern Renewable Energy Association
Legislation
SREA advocates for policies that support renewable energy deployment and protect the industry from legislative threats. Our efforts ensure that renewable energy companies influence regional energy policies, focusing on growth, tax incentives, siting, and decommissioning requirements.
Regulatory
SREA’s regulatory advocacy helps shape utility plans to integrate renewable energy, expanding clean energy access in the Southeast. By participating in state utility proceedings, SREA provides technical comments and testimony to promote clean energy adoption.
Transmission
SREA is actively engaged in the regional planning process and collaborates with organizations across the region to push for reforms in planning, transparency and oversight with two goals in mind: strengthening the grid and integrating more renewable energy.
