## About the Advanced Energy Buyers Group

The Advanced Energy Buyers Group is a business-led coalition of commercial, industrial, and institutional energy users engaging on policies to expand opportunities to procure energy that is secure, clean, and affordable.

Members of the Advanced Energy Buyers Group are leading companies and organizations spanning a range of market sectors. These businesses share a common interest in expanding their use of advanced energy, such as renewable energy like wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower; demand-side resources like energy efficiency, demand response, and energy storage; and onsite generation from solar photovoltaics, advanced natural gas turbines, and fuel cells. Analyses and internal business planning have shown that expanding use of such technologies will help companies to be more competitive, resilient, and sustainable far into the future.

# **Mission Statement**

The mission of the business-led Advanced Energy Buyers Group is to engage on policies that make it possible for non-residential energy users to meet their own energy needs with advanced energy through simple, flexible, market-based solutions; and to support policies that facilitate the transition to an electricity system that is secure, clean, resilient, smart, and affordable.

The work of the AE Buyers Group is informed by six guiding principles:

| ### 1.** Customers should have a broad array of choices** | Customers in all states should have a broad array of choices to pursue advanced energy to meet their particular needs. |
| --- | --- |
| ### 2.** Options should work for companies of all sizes and sectors ** | Options to pursue advanced energy should work and be available for companies large and small across all market sectors, as well as municipal, non-profit, and educational entities. |
| ### 3. **Options should be transparent, simple, flexible, and market-based** | Options to pursue advanced energy in all jurisdictions should be transparent, simple, flexible, and market-based, and should allow for competitive procurement. |
| ### 4. **Customers should receive any cost savings, and all other benefits** | Customers should realize both the cost savings and all other benefits from their purchases of renewable energy and other advanced energy technologies. |
| ### 5. **Customer actions should not adversely impact others** | Voluntary customer purchase of renewable energy and other advanced energy technologies should not adversely impact other customers. |
| ### 6. **Markets should enable innovation and cost efficiencies** |  Federal and state market and regulatory structures should enable innovation and cost efficiencies, and should facilitate the transition to a more secure, flexible, clean, and affordable energy system.  |
