With a focus on monitoring regulatory proceedings and holding utilities accountable, The Alliance ensures that ratepayers are not burdened with unfair costs on their energy bills. We recognize the unique challenges faced by coastal Louisiana due to climate change, and we work to develop policy solutions that reduce global warming pollution and prevent its worst impacts.
Through collaborative efforts, The Alliance has successfully fought against environmentally harmful projects, such as a proposed dirty coal plant that would have cost ratepayers significantly and released millions of tons of pollution. Furthermore, The Alliance champions energy efficiency programs, providing a win-win situation by helping families and businesses lower their energy bills while reducing harmful pollution. With a 37-year track record of advocating for energy efficiency, The Alliance remains committed to securing a sustainable future for Louisiana.
The Consumer Protection & Education Program is where policy meets people. The Alliance is the only group representing the public’s interest at the policy-making table. From providing the public with opportunities to get engaged in the democratic process to educating youth about the importance of energy resources, we give the people of Louisiana a voice on the issue.
The Alliance’s Clean Energy Program seeks to identify opportunities for and support the growth of clean energy resources in Louisiana. Our commitment to transforming the utility and energy regulatory environment at the most fundamental levels ensures Louisiana will not stand idly by as the effects of climate change ravage our communities and our coastline.
Through our Energy Efficiency Program, we advocate for energy policy and programming that maximize our energy resources and minimize demand on energy infrastructure. By reducing our consumption of resources we are not only helping utility customers save on their bills, we are protecting our environment by establishing policy objectives for the responsible use of those energy resources and infrastructure.
Your regulators make decisions about what your energy costs, where it comes from, and what types of programs are available to you. As your Watchdog, The Alliance works to hold electric and gas utilities, and their regulators, accountable and to ensure the public’s best interests are represented.
