Greenlight America (c3)
2025 Programs
Greenlight wins approval for clean energy projects and ordinances at the local level by running campaigns that mobilize local constituents to support clean energy at moments of critical importance. Our 2024 programmatic work will advance 4.4 Gigawatts of clean energy to the grid, avoiding approximately 2 million tons of Greenhouse Gas pollution as a result.
Mission
Greenlight’s mission is to leverage grassroots power to win local siting and permitting campaigns that get more clean energy projects built more quickly across the U.S. We will do this by partnering with local groups and activists to run strategic campaigns that win approval for clean energy projects in their communities.
