Environmental Stewardship

Project Development

Southern Power develops, manages and operates our projects to meet or surpass all laws and regulations in order to avoid, minimize or offset environmental and wildlife impacts.

 

Conservation

As a company, we prioritize engagement with environmental partners in our communities and across the nation. Through public-private partnerships, we promote conservation, restoration and increased environmental awareness, while working to support sound policy and science for the development of clean energy projects. 

Through our long-standing partnership with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Southern Power is supporting the education, outreach and habitat conservation of wildlife, like the desert tortoise, in areas where we serve.

Innovation

Southern Power is at the forefront of researching and developing technologies to better manage our resources while reducing the environmental impacts of our business. 

Southern Power is a founding partner of the Renewable Energy Wildlife Research Fund housed in the Renewable Energy Wildlife Institute. The Fund is an avenue for wind industry and conservation partners to pool resources to develop solutions to wildlife challenges through cutting edge research.

Southern Power, in partnership with the Electric Power Research Institute, is advancing research on the environmental aspects of renewables in order to continue the deployment of renewable energy for its customers while avoiding or minimizing impacts to the environment.
