The SouthCoast Energy Challenge is an easy path to energy efficiency and saving money. It starts with registration and signing up for a free home energy assessment.

After your Home Energy Assessment, we have created a simple and easy roadmap to help you on your way to saving money, energy, and together reducing our regional CO2 emissions.

We at SEEAL challenge all residents of SouthCoast Massachusetts to take energy saving action today—in our homes, on the road, through the food we eat, the stuff we buy, and how we use and dispose of it. We created the Challenge to unify the efforts of individuals in our region who are already acting, and also to encourage everyone else to take action on the extremely relevant issues of energy conservation, efficiency and awareness.

The SouthCoast Energy Challenge (SEC) was established in 2010 as a project of the Southeastern Environmental Education Alliance (SEEAL) to focus on three basic priorities: 

1) Save residents money by driving adoption of home energy efficiency audits and renewable energy systems; 

2) Build community through grassroots organizing and green job workforce training and development, and; 

3) Protect the planet by setting aggressive goals to reduce the carbon footprint of households in the region by expanding membership, leveraging partnerships, and holding staff and interns to high standards of performance. After many successful years during which SEC staff signed up 14,000-plus SouthCoast residents for a Home Energy Assessment or Solar Assessment, and made strong achievements in training interns, the program found a home at the Marion Institute.
