Dear Fellow Leaders in Clean Energy and Climate Action,
As the Northeast Renewable Energy Coalition, we're reaching out today with both
hope and urgency. The path to a sustainable future lies before us, but we cannot
walk it alone. It's time for us to forge stronger partnerships between the renewable
energy sector and climate advocacy groups.
For too long, we've worked in parallel when we could be working together. Our
sector brings the technical expertise, infrastructure, and innovation needed to
transform our energy systems. Climate groups bring passionate advocacy, deep
community connections, and the ability to mobilize public support. Together, we
can create something far more powerful than the sum of our parts.
We're facing familiar challenges today – funding cuts, program cancellations, and
policy uncertainty. Many of us have weathered similar storms before. We
persevered then because we knew the profound importance of our work, and we'll
persevere now. Our collaborative spirit has always been our greatest strength in
difficult times.
The foundation we've built through existing partnerships helps us weather these
challenges, but we can make it stronger. Our sector brings technical expertise,
infrastructure, and innovation needed to transform our energy systems. Climate
groups bring passionate advocacy, deep community connections, and the ability
to mobilize public support. Together, we're already powerful – but we can be
transformative.
We see opportunities to:
Build on successful joint initiatives to accelerate clean energy deployment at scale
Strengthen our unified voice in policy discussion
Expand innovative programs that make renewable energy accessible to all communities
Deepen public engagement and support for the clean energy transition
Create more sustainable jobs while ensuring an equitable energy future
To those already working in partnership – thank you. Your collaborations light the
way forward. To those looking to strengthen existing relationships or build new
ones – we're here to help connect you.
The challenges we face today remind us why we chose this path. Every solar panel
installed, every geothermal well drilled, every efficiency program launched
represents our shared commitment not just to our own generation, but to all who
follow. When we work together, these victories multiply.
Warm Regards,
NREC Team
