“From a consumer perspective, CEA has always said if we open up energy opportunities, if we look at offshore, if we look at onshore, if we look at energy efficiency conservation, if we do all these things in a sensible way, energy prices will go down, putting more money back into consumer pockets, increasing employment opportunities in the rest of the economy.”

- David Holt, interview with E&E TV

“Those who continue to argue that we cannot protect our environment and develop our natural resources are misguided, incorrect, and, more often, have politically motivated reasons behind their positions, which do not consider jobs or our children’s future.”

- CEA Chief Operating Officer, Andrew Browning writing for The Hill.

Message from the Chairwoman

It has been an exceptional year of growth for Consumer Energy Alliance (CEA). Now encompassing more than 275 corporate affiliate members, and 450,000 grassroots

members, CEA’s presence is felt from coast to coast, touching every sector of the U.S. economy.

We have also grown as an organization, with the addition of our Charlotte, NC, and Little Rock, AR, offices and a significantly expanded team, comprised of energy experts, policy analysts and communications specialists. CEA’s staff continues to be recognized for their credibility and outstanding participation in the energy dialogue, including a Governor’s task force appointment and a Manufacturers and Employers Excellence Award. The high-value service CEA delivers to its affiliate members is as broad as it is unique, being offered nowhere else in the energy space.

Educating and engaging government officials and key stakeholders was a primary focus in 2015. CEA hosted a series of Energy 101 Legislative Briefings spanning across 11 states, attracting more than 700 attendees, 450 state policymakers, and 300 key state stakeholders. These discussions covered all components of our country’s energy portfolio, while amplifying their specific impacts on the American consumer, particularly in terms of job creation, affordable and reliable energy, economic development and national security.

As “The Voice of the Energy Consumer,” CEA’s central mission is to understand, enhance and advocate for sensible energy policies from the perspective of the consumer. Our grassroots network of over 450,000 individuals continues to grow steadily as the everyday consumer becomes more and more knowledgeable about energy and its role in our everyday lives. With almost 400,000 comments generated this year alone on a variety of key energy issues, CEA is proving that when provided a platform, consumers choose to engage and truly do shape the discussion on energy policy in our country.

As we move into 2016, CEA understands that now, more than ever, energy is on the minds of American consumers. The American public has insisted that energy policy will be a critical consideration when casting their votes in the upcoming presidential election. As our organization leads the charge in achieving a balanced national energy policy that promotes the thoughtful development of our abundant natural resources, CEA will continue to provide exceptional representation to our affiliate members and all energy consumers.

Offshore energy resources are critical to the ongoing success of American domestic energy development and the job creation and economic growth that accompanies it.

Through comment letter campaigns, participation at government-hosted

meetings, engagement with governors, Members of Congress, state legislators, regulators, key stakeholders, and the media, CEA continued to ensure that the voice of the energy consumer is represented at all levels and in multiple capacities as the next federal offshore leasing program is developed.

Offshore Oil & Natural Gas Access

“Energy policies significantly impact the pocketbooks of residents in Iowa. All consumers, regardless of party affiliation, want to ensure stable and low prices for all forms of energy, and the energy sector continues to be the most significant pillar of the strengthening economy.”

- CEA President David Holt writing in the Des Moines Register

How CEA supports responsible offshore energy production

13

Access to domestic onshore energy resources is critical to continued U.S. economic growth and prosperity. Onshore energy development has created endless growth and opportunity for communities across America and lowered energy costs for all energy consumers. But this development is

under threat from multiple fronts. From local opposition to state legislation and ballot initiatives, domestic energy production could be significantly impacted. CEA is working to defend responsible energy production, starting at the local level.

Onshore Energy Access

“Instead of looking to local ordinances to prohibit oil and gas production, it’s clear that promoting policies that support the responsible development of all of our energy resources is paramount to the state’s overall energy future. Our local, state and national discussions should be about protecting our environment and developing our resources. Why has it become such an either/or game?”

- CEA President David Holt writing in the Albuquerque Business Journal

14

n More than 119,000 letters supporting Texas Legislation on local control of oil and gas operations

n 4,500 letters to the Oklahoma Senate supporting legislation to better define local and state control over oil and gas regulation

n Grassroots, advocacy and media campaign throughout Oklahoma engaging city council members of key municipalities including Norman, Stillwater and Ada.

n 14,300 public comments urging the Ohio legislature not to raise taxes on the burgeoning energy industry in the state.

How CEA is building the case for continued onshore energy access:

CEA member David Mitchell, Monarch Corporation - Milwaukee, WI

15

America must continue to build and upgrade its energy and transportation infrastructure to support the mobility and transmissibility of energy from where it’s produced to where its is used the most. By improving our pipeline network, and the roads needed to support energy extraction, America can continue

to accrue even more benefits from its domestic energy production.

CEA continues to advocate for approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, writing editorials, hosting educational meetings and testifying before elected officials. CEA believes Keystone XL will help create jobs, increase energy security and reduce energy costs.

Infrastructure

“The U.S. has 2.5 million miles of America’s pipelines. Each works together and independently as energy and economic arteries, keeping homes heated and cooled and hospitals powered and safe while supporting millions of jobs and billions in economic output. KXL would do much of the same.”

- CEA Vice President Michael Whatley writing for Townhall.com

16

n 20,000+ letters to Congress in support of legislation to approve the Keystone XL pipeline.

n 20,000+ comments supporting the construction of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, a natural gas pipeline that will bring Marcellus shale gas from West Virginia to consumers in Virginia and North Carolina

n 300+ letters in support of Arkansas Clean Line Transmission Project, an electric transmission line that would transmit electricity from western wind farms to major urban centers in the Southeast.

How CEA is working to improve energy transmissibility:

17

CEA continued to raise awareness about the impact of the Clean Power Plan on individual states and individual consumers as the plan was introduced and amended by EPA in 2015. Legislators from 11 states attended forums to learn about how the states

would be impacted by the Clean Power Plan and how those impacts would affect energy consumers. CEA’s coalition includes voices from labor unions, small businesses, elected officials, manufacturing, agriculture, and utilities.

Affordable, Reliable Electricity / Power Generation

“Consumer Energy Alliance is disappointed that the White House failed to give significant consideration to the impacts to energy consumers in its final version of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan. Study after study has shown that these rules will raise both electricity and natural gas prices for all American consumers, threaten grid reliability and security, and take an amount of electricity equal to the total electricity demand of New England offline with no plan to replace the lost production. All within an extremely tight timeline.”

- CEA statement on the release of EPA’s final Clean Power Plan

18

n Hosted Energy 101s that focused on the impacts of the Clean Power Plan on state electricity generation and grid reliability.

n Gathered signatories for a letter to EPA asking for changes to the Clean Power Plan that would better consider the impacts on energy consumers, the nation’s electric grid, and utility bills.

n Conducted forums on the challenging implications of the rules for various stakeholder coalitions such as the Energy Producing States Coalition and briefings for other influential policymakers and thought leaders.

How CEA is working to keep electricity affordable and reliable:

19

Renewable energy is an important part of America’s long-term energy strategy. CEA works to support expanded use of renewable energy sources that ensure economic, affordable and reliable sources of energy for all consumers. Increasing

energy efficiency in automobiles, appliances, building techniques, personal technology, computers, etc, is another important strategy for reducing net energy demand and end-user costs.

Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency

“In 2012, consumers in Ohio saved over 1,500 gigawatt hours of electricity thanks to the state’s improvements in energy efficiency. This not only drives much-needed economic development and job creation, but it allows businesses to utilize profits to hire more staff and upgrade their technologies, as opposed to paying sky-high energy bills. Similarly, energy efficiency allows consumers to keep more of their hard-earned dollars.”

- CEA Vice President Tommy Foltz writing for The Energy Voice blog

20

n Discussed the opportunity for offshore wind generation along the Atlantic coast, with state legislators and policy makers.

n Gathered public comments in support of new transmission lines that will efficiently deliver electricity generated from Great Plains wind farms to urban centers in the Midwest.

n Testified at public hearings in support of the construction of additional transmission lines to help deliver renewable electricity to new markets.

n Managing the Houston Renewable Energy Network, a group that highlights renewable energy technology and business opportunities in America’s energy capital: Houston, Texas.

How CEA is promoting long-term energy goals:

21

Nuclear

If America is to continue its march toward energy self-sufficiency, improved environmental sustainability and lower energy costs, nuclear energy must continue to be developed and expanded. With new regulations on power plant emissions, demand on the electrical grid and other pressures, nuclear energy

stands as the best way to generate electricity in a safe and abundant way, all while producing no emissions. Electricity demand is set to increase, and nuclear power will continue to provide our nation with safe, clean and reliable baseload power.

“If we can support policies that promote a diversified energy economy that includes nuclear, we’ll be on our way to a promising future that includes economic prosperity, increased production, less dependency on imports, a safer, cleaner environment and more affordable energy supplies via nuclear power plants that remain open rather than closed.”

- Michael Whatley writing for the Asbury Park Press

22

n Supporting the development of new nuclear power plants in the Southeast region through public testimony at federal and state hearings.

n Educating state legislators on how support for nuclear power can help them achieve compliance with new clean air regulations.

n Advocating against the premature closure of nuclear power plants in Illinois through newspaper editorials and engagement with local CEA members.

How CEA is pushing for the expansion of clean nuclear energy:

23
