About Energy Southeast

With the success of energy initiatives and partnerships that go far beyond our headquarters in Alabama, Energy Southeast serves Member communities and locales across the region.

Energy Southeast fosters what makes our local communities special. More than simply providing electricity people need in their daily lives, we build successful futures. Whether it’s exploring and developing new energy projects or funding scholarships to benefit the next generation of leaders, Energy Southeast maintains a forward focus to enhance the position of its Members.

We advance the mission of public, locally owned power of all types. Cities and towns are facing the challenges of growth. How do they address workforce and infrastructure issues while retaining the character of the neighborhoods, parks, schools and businesses they cherish? Our goal is to put power behind these efforts.

While leading the charge here in Alabama, we’re evolving to offer new power initiatives—including natural gas turbines and solar farms—throughout the country. We’re broadening our services, both functionally and geographically. And now we’re even better equipped to help our Members achieve the quality of place that builds community. In the 21st century, the place to look for energy leadership is Energy Southeast.
