SEEA

What SEEA does

SEEA (Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance) is a nonprofit Regional Energy Efficiency Organization founded in 2007 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The organization promotes energy efficiency as a catalyst for economic growth, workforce development, and energy security across 11 southeastern states — Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. SEEA is one of six federally affiliated Regional Energy Efficiency Organizations (REEOs) in the U.S. national network and collaborates with the U.S. Department of Energy on policy, programming, and communications.

SEEA's core initiatives span four areas: energy efficiency policy (state utility profiles, policy advocacy); built environment (building energy codes, Energy Code Circuit Rider Program, building technologies research); energy efficient transportation (EV charging infrastructure, equity initiatives in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina); and regional investment (federal investment tracking, the Southeast Energy Efficiency Fund funded by legacy ARRA money, SEEDS, and on-bill / low-income financing). Rather than a software product, SEEA's "technology" consists of policy research, program design frameworks, financial mechanisms, and convening infrastructure. Notable analytical work has been conducted with the Cadmus Group using IMPLAN economic modeling to produce regional investment and job creation reports.

SEEA's revenue is generated through annual membership dues (utilities, state and local governments, energy efficiency businesses, and nonprofits), tiered event sponsorships (the 2025 Southeast Energy Summit offers Headline at $50,000, Platinum at $25,000, Gold at $20,000, Bronze at $10,000, plus exhibitor tiers), and general donations. Go-to-market is community-led via member engagement, the signature Southeast Energy Summit (300+ senior decision-makers), the Annual Member Meeting, and year-round roundtables. The organization is governed by a board of directors and operated by an 11-50 person staff with no parent company, no disclosed funding rounds, and no public revenue figures.
