Explore the Newly Released 2024 SEPA Snapshot Series

The energy industry’s path to a carbon-free future is accelerating. To stay ahead, you need insights that are timely, actionable, and designed to inform your strategic decisions

The 2024 SEPA Snapshots Series presents a collection of focused, stand-alone chapters (Snapshots) aligned with SEPA’s six focus areas: resilience, transportation, emerging technology, policy, energy storage, and energy equity. Each Snapshot delivers a unique perspective on critical topics shaping the energy industry, offering insights tailored for stakeholders across the sector.

Drawing from SEPA’s semi-annual Pulse Surveys—capturing input from utility representatives and energy industry participants—as well as data from the 2024 Power Player Awards submissions, these insight briefs provide a concise yet comprehensive view of the clean energy sector’s evolution. Highlighting key trends and challenges, the Snapshots emphasize the importance of collaboration and innovation in driving decarbonization and transformative progress.

A special thank you to all survey participants whose insights were aggregated through the lens of SEPA’s focus areas to create these impactful briefs.
