Conservation Alabama is proud to be a member of the Energy Freedom Alabama coalition, along with our partners at Energy Alabama, the Southern Environmental Law Center, and the Alabama Solar Industry Association.

Energy Freedom Alabama works to advance legislation enabling third-party ownership, a policy that allows you to buy energy from a source other than your current electricity provider. This has many proven benefits, including:

  • Removing the upfront cost of clean energy like solar, expanding access to more people

  • Increasing competition— because you are not allowed to purchase energy from a lower cost provider, the incumbent utility has little-to-no incentive to offer you better products and services

  • Creating jobs— After enacting a limited third party ownership policy, solar jobs in Virginia have grown substantially
