The Southern States Energy Board works closely in partnership with its Associate Members to foster economic development in the southern region. Founded in 1984, the Associate Members represent the region’s leading energy and technology providers and contribute invaluable expertise on the economic and social implication of federal and state energy and environmental policies. These activities are integral to providing a balanced and responsible approach to environmental regulation that is economical and efficient.

During this past year, the Associate Members discussed the challenges and possible solutions of implementing the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The Associate Members also have addressed matters related to electric utility issues such as the re-emergence of the nuclear industry and grid modernization; state responses to energy emergencies; energy security; low-income home energy assistance; air quality; carbon management; natural gas supply and infrastructure; water for energy; and state energy and environmental legislation.
