Conservatives for Clean Energy

What Conservatives for Clean Energy does

Conservatives for Clean Energy (CCE) is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit advocacy organization headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, that educates the public and policymakers on the economic benefits of clean energy across the Southeast United States. It operates six state chapters (Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, and Louisiana), each led by a named State Director, and is led nationally by President and CEO Mark Fleming. The organization frames clean energy as compatible with conservative principles—emphasizing free-market competition, consumer choice, energy independence, and national security—and engages Republican state legislators, governors, and Southeast congressional delegations through legislative receptions, roundtables, and annual Washington D.C. fly-ins.

CCE's business model is sponsorship-driven rather than commercial. It does not sell products or services and provides educational content and policy advocacy free of charge. Revenue is generated primarily through event sponsorships from clean energy industry stakeholders, with a disclosed sponsor roster including Amazon Web Services, Borrego, Clēnera, Commonwealth Energy Partners, Energix, First Solar, Geenex Solar, Hexagon Energy, Longroad Energy, Open Road Renewables, Recurrent, SolUnesco, Sun Tribe, and Urban Grid. The organization is an affiliate of the Conservative Energy Network (CEN), a coalition of 24 state-based conservative clean energy organizations, and co-hosts recurring federal advocacy events with Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) and Chambers for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE).

CCE has no proprietary technology, software platform, or commercial product offering. Its core deliverable is policy influence, executed through state chapter operations, proprietary public opinion polling (e.g., 71% SC voter support for renewable clean energy; 76.5% NC voter support for energy modernization), an annual legislative reception in Virginia drawing 150+ attendees, congressional fly-ins, earned media (op-eds, letters to editors), and the Clean Energy Champions Podcast. The organization does not have disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, or parent-company ownership, operating as an independent nonprofit advocacy entity.
