|Description=Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance (REBA) is helping grow large buyer demand for renewable power and helping utilities and others meet it. Energy buyers like corporations, cities, and public institutions want to power their operations with clean energy but navigating the path to renewables in the US and international markets is harder than it should be. REBA exists to make the transition easier by helping companies understand the benefits of moving to renewables, connecting large buyer demand to renewable energy supply, and helping utilities better understand and serve the needs of all energy buyers.

|Activities=A new collaborative of manufacturers, state and local governments, and environmental organizations launched today at the Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance Summit to increase options for access to sustainable, cost-competitive renewable thermal energy. The second REBA summit (2017 Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance Summit) gathered 400 energy buyers, service providers, developers, financiers, non-profit organizations and utilities in Santa Clara, CA, September 17-19 to identify opportunities to accelerate procurement of renewable energy. The conferences are organised by VERGE, a global conference and expo series launched in 2011 focusing on the technologies and systems that accelerate sustainability solutions across sectors in a climate-constrained world. The flagship conference takes place annually in Silicon Valley.

Description

Description The name changed in 2021 to "Clean Energy Buyers Alliance"

The new focus reflects a more holistic approach to clean energy adoption. It’s no longer about the emissions associated with an individual organization’s energy use, it’s about driving a cleaner grid so every electricity end user — be it a factory or a home — is using carbon-free energy.

Objectives The new name comes with a new organizational aspiration: a 90 percent carbon-free electrical system in the U.S. by 2030. This is an evolution of the organization’s previous goal, to catalyze 60 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2025.
Activities According to CEBA’s press release, the organization will focus on three key transformations:

Unlocking markets so that energy customers can use their buying power and market influence to accelerate electricity decarbonization. Catalyzing communities of energy customers to actively choose clean energy and to do more together than they could on their own. Decarbonizing the grid for all, because not every energy customer can or will use their buying power to choose clean energy. This systems-level focus could open the door for CEBA to be a powerful business voice to support clean energy policy. Some of the world’s most iconic brands are CEBA members, including Google, General Motors, McDonald’s and Target, which could make a meaningful difference in policy negotiations.

If CEBA grows enough in influence, this holistic approach could provide an important balance to other business associations to which many of these same corporations also belong, such as the Business Roundtable, which are actively fighting climate legislation and the Build Back Better act.
