Corporate Energy Buyers Association

What Corporate Energy Buyers Association does

Corporate Energy Buyers Association (CEBA) is a U.S.-based nonprofit trade association founded in 2018 as the Renewable Energy Buyers Association (REBA) by the Rocky Mountain Institute, World Wildlife Fund, World Resources Institute, and BSR, and rebranded to CEBA in 2021 to encompass all clean energy technologies. The organization represents more than 340 corporate member organizations whose combined market value exceeds $40 trillion and whose employees number roughly 2.5 million. CEBA's members include hyperscalers (Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, NVIDIA), large retailers and manufacturers (Walmart, Disney, GM), energy providers (NextEra, Brookfield, Constellation, GE Vernova), and an array of clean energy developers and service providers. The association functions as the primary convening body for voluntary corporate clean energy procurement in the United States, tracking 143.8 GW of cumulative procurement since 2014 through its public Deal Tracker.

CEBA's product portfolio centers on member-facing tools and policy assets: the CEBA Interconnect member platform (Buyer's Roadmap Tool, Deal Tracker, Green Tariff Report, State of the Market reports, Policy Briefings, Templates); the Clean Energy Procurement Academy, which delivers in-country and virtual training globally (Vietnam, Mainland China, India, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia); the Global Markets and Policy program; the Clean Energy Tariffs program tracking utility offerings; and macroeconomic policy research including the NERA-commissioned study quantifying the cost of restricting solar and wind deployment. Distribution is delivered via membership, the Interconnect platform, the annual CEBA Spring Summit, webinars, and structured working groups covering transmission, supply chain, data centers, and accounting. The association operates under a CEO (Rich Powell) and a member-governed board, with regional policy teams covering Western, Southeast, and Organized Markets.

CEBA's revenue model is tiered membership dues — Leader, Advocate, and Supporter levels with annual billing — supplemented by program and event revenue. Leader members receive board-seat guarantees (for qualifying buyers), priority intelligence, and exclusive event access. The association's go-to-market is community-led: it recruits members through industry events, digital marketing, member referrals, and content marketing targeting large corporate energy buyers, energy providers, and service providers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. CEBA does not operate proprietary technology products in the traditional software sense; its competitive position derives from the scale of its member network, its convening power across industries, its proprietary procurement data, and its influence on federal and state energy policy.

Partnerships

Five partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• NERA Economic ConsultingcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 11 June 2026NERA Economic Consulting performed macroeconomic modeling for CEBA's study on the cost of constraining solar and wind deployment. The study found that restrictions on clean energy could cost U.S. ratepayers $121.2 billion in additional electricity and natural gas costs between 2027-2033.
• GE VernovaminorOthers · 15 April 2026GE Vernova is a member of CEBA, participating as an energy provider and technology partner in the association's initiatives around grid infrastructure and clean energy deployment.
• White House Ratepayer Protection PledgecoreOthers · 4 March 2026Seven major AI companies and hyperscalers (Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, xAI) signed a White House-brokered Ratepayer Protection Pledge committing to fund new electricity generation capacity and grid infrastructure for their data centers without passing costs to residential or commercial ratepayers.
• Georgia PowercoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerCEBA negotiated the Customer-Identified Resource (CIR) program with Georgia Power, allowing large commercial and industrial customers (including hyperscalers) to finance and connect their own solar, battery, and renewable energy projects to the utility's grid, protecting everyday customers from bearing the cost burden of data center-driven grid expansion.
• Rocky Mountain InstituteminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerCEBA's roots date back to 2018 when Rocky Mountain Institute, World Wildlife Fund, World Resources Institute, and BSR launched the Renewable Energy Buyers Association (REBA), which evolved into CEBA in 2021.

Direct peers

• International Emissions Trading Association (IETA): Global business association focused on emissions trading markets (carbon credits, RECs/GOs cross-border) — comparable to CEBA's EAC/REC trading advocacy, with deeper specialization in cross-border compliance that complements CEBA's procurement focus.
• American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE): National renewable energy trade association with policy advocacy and member-driven programming — overlapping with CEBA on federal clean energy policy and convening investors, developers, and corporate buyers under one membership umbrella.
• Advanced Energy Economy (AEE): U.S. national business association representing advanced energy companies and the buyers of advanced energy, with shared policy advocacy and member-driven governance — the most direct functional peer to CEBA within the U.S. clean energy advocacy landscape.
• RE100 (Climate Group): Global corporate renewable electricity initiative convening hundreds of large buyers committed to 100% renewable electricity — overlapping member base (Google, Microsoft, Meta, Walmart, Disney) and a parallel convening-and-advocacy mission to CEBA, with a stronger brand-recognition footprint outside the U.S.
• Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA): U.S. membership organization focused on the utility-side integration of clean, distributed energy resources — a comparable advocacy-and-education model to CEBA, but representing utilities and grid operators rather than corporate buyers.

Broad incumbents

• Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI): Co-founded CEBA's predecessor (REBA) in 2018 and shares core program work on corporate clean energy procurement, energy transition finance, and policy research — a more research-and-Think-tank-oriented peer with overlapping thought-leadership reach.
• World Resources Institute (WRI): Co-founded REBA (CEBA's predecessor) in 2018; a global research organization running corporate climate programs (e.g., GHG Protocol, Climate Watch) that share institutional relationships and policy analytic methods with CEBA.

Emerging players

• Business for Social Responsibility (BSR): Co-founded CEBA's predecessor (REBA) in 2018 — peer sustainability nonprofit with corporate sustainability advisory and convening work, including supply-chain decarbonization programs that overlap with CEBA's Global Programs offerings.
• Clean Energy Buyers Institute (CEBI): U.S. nonprofit focused on accelerating commercial and industrial clean energy procurement through buyer education and market intelligence — a more narrowly scoped, mission-aligned peer that emerged in the same ecosystem as CEBA and shares buyer-segment focus.

Regional players

• Clean Energy Council (CEC, Australia): Australia's leading clean energy industry body, with a member-driven model covering renewable energy deployment, certification, and policy advocacy — directly comparable to CEBA in structure, but serving the Australian corporate and developer market.
