The South Carolina Energy Justice Coalition is a nonpartisan collective of over 60 organizations across the four regions of SC working to support communities experiencing high energy burdens, persistent energy inefficiency, and other inequities in the SC energy system.

We are guided by facilitated dialogue, our grassroots base, and Environmental Justice values as we advocate a just and clean energy future for all South Carolinians.

Grassroots efforts are supported through community and civic engagement, partner support, advice and education, youth development and organizing, public policy, and technological advancements such as weatherization and community solar. Energy efficiency and economic advancement mechanisms like the clean energy workforce and community solar programs are of central focus.

By joining with community groups to amplify the concerns of marginalized communities struggling with high energy burdens, the Coalition is able to elevate issues at the state level. Our goal is to better equip SC's nonprofits and grassroots groups to inform policies and programs intended to advance community climate resiliency, energy efficiency, and energy affordability.
