Our Work

New Alpha CDC has been supporting the writing of the South Carolina State Energy Plan. The coalition writing the plan consists of every investor owned utility, Electric Cooperative, the SC Dept. of Health & Environmental Control, the Office of Energy, the Office of Regulatory Services, Academic Institutions, conservation groups, and Environmental Justice organizations. KLT is a member of the coalition’s Environmental Justice sub-committee. It is also currently working on fighting a biomass pelletizing plant in Hamlett, NC. The CDC is also organizing around water quality issues in low income African American communities in the counties of Florence, Chesterfield, and Marion. Those water quality issues are related to eather-rlated flooding. New Alpha CDC has also attended and presented at many colleges and universities such as Georgetown University, Duke University, Coker College, Francis Marion University, Florence-Darlington Technical College, Claflin University, and many more. We have attnded briefings and testified at White House briefings, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, state and fderal agency events, and Congressional South Carolina State Senate briefings. We are currently conducting training for solar installers and developing demonstration projects in the areas of renewable energy and energy efficiency.
