Climate to raise awareness about how clean energy improves lives, and to build bridges across political and social differences here in our diverse region, sace and our partners ssdn and generation180 have developed energy for all yall, a new campaign highlighting clean energy successes, inspiring action, and demonstrating why clean energy is good for communities and residents throughout our region. Efay has already created an arsenal of true success stories showing that our families are healthier, our pockets are fuller, and our air is cleaner when we make the switch to rely on cleaner sources of energy. Since launching the project in june 2024, we have published ~40 stories within our initial two-state focus (samples here: https://www.energyforallyall.org/stories), and have widely shared them via social and traditional media, achieving 500+ million media impressions. Sace's clean energy generation continued to hold monthly calls, distribute monthly newsletters, and invite our members from around the region to take action to support clean energy policy. Through the clean energy generation campaign, we have worked with our members to share stories and perspectives about taking action for climate and clean energy and have shared many action opportunities such as petitions, call-in days, and events.

Energy efficiency in 2024 sace continued intervention at feeca (florida energy efficiency & conservation association) to promote utility energy efficiency programs, and in our settlement we achieved increased funding for low-income energy efficiency programs at multiple utilities in florida. Our intervention in duke energy's north carolina 2024 carbon plan integrated resource plan process also supported the commission ordering duke to adopt an energy efficiency target of 1% of eligible sales, which many of our region's utilities do not have.
