Sightline Climate, a leading climate technology market data and insights platform, announced it was joining forces with Southern Company, a leading energy provider serving more than 9 million customers through its electric and gas subsidiaries, to help accelerate the deployment of climate technology.
As the energy ecosystem rapidly evolves, the ability to understand and interpret diverse market forces is critically important to stay ahead of the curve and enable the clean energy transition. Sightline Climate’s platform offers participants like Southern Company deep insights into the new climate economy to enable the scaling of climate solutions.
