SUSTAINABLE ENERGY EDUCATION

Do better
One student at a time.
Energy Alabama was founded in 2014, as a response to the tornadoes of 2011 that devastated much of Alabama. Much of the state was devastated and without power for days. Some places were without power for weeks.
We are a nonprofit membership-based organization that has advocated for clean energy in Alabama since 2014. Our work is based on two pillars: education and advocacy.
When you know better, do better.
