Powering Louisiana
The coming years will test our state’s electric grid. Louisiana faces a growing power-generation shortfall driven by rising demand, with more than 50% of our power currently imported from other states. Isn’t it time we focus on local generation?
Investing in local generation strengthens Louisiana’s energy security, reduces reliance on neighboring states during extreme weather, and shields families from price volatility. We can pursue practical, market-based policies that streamline permitting, expand storage, and modernize the grid—while encouraging private investment and ensuring our rural communities stay connected and prosperous.
This conversation isn’t about politics. It’s about lower bills, local jobs, and a more resilient grid for tomorrow. It’s about Louisiana-made power—empowering Louisianans with reliable, affordable energy. It’s Louisiana-made power—homegrown energy that powers our future.
Challenge Misinformation
Powering Louisiana partners with communities across the state to counter misinformation about renewable energy and to support community leaders in crafting clear, practical language for advocating when wind or solar projects come to their areas.
Coalition Building
Powering Louisiana believes lasting change comes from uniting communities, policymakers, and industry partners to advocate for transparent, evidence-based renewable energy policies. By forming broad coalitions across the state, we advance practical, affordable power solutions that protect everyday Louisianans.
Take Action
Powering Louisiana champions policies that grow renewable energy and shield the industry from harmful legislation. We work to ensure practical siting guidelines, reliable bonding standards, and clear decommissioning processes so projects can thrive in communities across the state.
An Initiative Focused on Bringing Energy Solutions to Louisiana
Powering Louisiana is a project of the Southern Renewable Energy Association, an organization that represents the interests of renewable energy stakeholders across the Southeastern United States.
