the Virgin Islands. SEEA has developed close partnerships with existing energy organizations and
businesses in the Southeast, including investor-owned and public utilities, wholesalers, retailers, state
governors and energy offices, state public utility commissions, environmental and energy nonprofit
organizations, energy service companies, manufacturers, universities, consumer groups, low-income
advocates, and residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural consumers.
