Southwire Joins SEPA: Advancing Clean Energy Solutions and Sustainability in Smart Electric Power
Southwire is excited to announce its membership in the Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA), a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing innovative and sustainable solutions in the realm of smart, clean energy. As a well-established leader in the electrical industry, this collaboration underscores Southwire’s ongoing dedication to sustainability and forward-thinking.
 
Norman Adkins, Southwire’s chief operating officer, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We are pleased to become part of SEPA, joining a community that is actively driving positive changes in the industry. Working alongside this organization and our fellow members, we look forward to shaping the future of smart energy solutions.”
 
SEPA envisions the development of a carbon-free energy system by 2050, collaborating with its industry-leading members to achieve this ambitious goal. With a membership exceeding 1,100, SEPA’s network comprises solution providers, government agencies, utilities, academics, and more. Members bring diverse expertise in areas such as electrification, grid modernization, and clean energy.
 
Given Southwire’s established reputation and prominent role in the electrical industry, the company is uniquely positioned to contribute to SEPA’s vision while simultaneously advancing its own objectives through the valuable resources provided by its membership.
 
“This partnership aligns with Southwire’s broader vision to keep sustainability at the forefront of our work,” said Burt Fealing, Southwire’s executive vice president, general counsel and chief sustainability officer. “Our Carbon Zero goal – to achieve 100% carbon neutral energy for our operations by 2025 – is complemented by SEPA’s work toward carbon-free energy.
