The mission of the Southeastern Wind Coalition is to advance the land-based and offshore wind industry in ways that result in net economic benefits to industry, utilities, ratepayers, and residents of the Southeast. The Coalition takes an objective, transparent, data-driven, and economically focused approach to advance the industry and inform policy discussions while working closely with utilities via a Utility Advisory Group. In 2014, the Coalition was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy to lead the Southeast Wind Energy Resource Center. Working with our university partners, we serve as a resource to decision makers for objective, fact-based information on wind energy. Our key members include industry (e.g. manufacturers, utilities, suppliers, developers, consultants, service providers), appropriate government bodies (economic developers, commerce departments, energy offices), academic and research institutions, and other non-profit groups that share our objectives. The Coalition is a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
