For 25 years, Utah Clean Energy has advanced Utah’s clean energy future through education, collaboration, and innovative policy engagement—helping bring gigawatts of solar and wind power online. Now, the organization is turning its expertise to the next frontier: next-generation geothermal energy. Utah is uniquely positioned to lead. With the nation’s first utility-scale next-gen geothermal project and a groundbreaking national research lab, the state offers a powerful foundation for expanding this transformative technology. Yet its potential remains widely underrecognized. In partnership with industry, communities, and decision-makers, Utah Clean Energy will raise awareness of next-gen geothermal through strategic outreach, education, and collaborative initiatives—helping make geothermal a cornerstone of a carbon-free energy future in Utah and beyond.

NY Renews is a multi-sector, multiracial, and intergenerational climate, jobs, and justice coalition of 400 organizations creating a path to a 100% clean energy economy in NY. As the main force behind the passage of NYS’s historic climate law in 2019, NY Renews is the leading coalition working to ensure the mandates and goals of the law are adequately funded and fully realized. Their 2025 and 2026 plans include: (1) watchdogging NY’s Climate Law at a time when the governor is failing to lead on climate; (2) ensuring that the state’s proposed cap-and-invest program remains the primary vessel to fund the climate law; and (3) building the capacity of the communities they represent to strengthen the movement, deepen alignment, and lead on climate justice.

Next generation geothermal is a zero-carbon source of electricity and heat/cooling that is at a critical inflection point to unlock massive decarbonization benefits in the US. According to the International Energy Agency, new geothermal technologies have the potential to meet all electricity and heat demand in Africa, China, Europe, Southeast Asia and the United States combined. Despite this, geothermal has been absent from major conversations about decarbonization in the US. Project InnerSpace is facilitating the rapid transfer of resources, technologies, and know-how from the oil and gas industry toward geothermal energy production through state specific research papers and innovations like GeoMap.

Greenlight is mobilizing grassroots power to win local clean energy fights where projects are most at risk of being blocked. With our Clean Energy Mobilization Hub, we equip supporters to show up in permitting battles, ensuring solar, wind, and storage get built on time to meet the urgent climate window. Partnering with Protect Our Winters (POW), we’re expanding campaigns in the Mountain West—especially Colorado and Nevada—through joint phonebanking and organizing, advancing projects with more than 600MW potential. Together, we’re making sure clean energy doesn’t lose by forfeit and building durable climate wins in critical geographies.

POW’s mission is to lead the outdoor movement for climate action. We are organizing the Outdoor State to be the most powerful voice for climate in the U.S. Building on our national momentum, we are rolling out a local engagement strategy anchored by a new clean energy campaign designed to activate all levels of the POW community and accelerate decarbonization across the country. POW is committed to breaking local development logjams by educating communities and organizing targeted, on-the-ground advocacy campaigns that drive specific clean energy projects forward. We are shifting the cultural, societal and structural norms to ensure prioritization of local clean energy development.
