Large-scale programs CSE manages incentive programs valued at over $4 billion across multiple states, including the largest EV incentive program and the largest statewide EV charging infrastructure program in the U.S. This indicates a strong track record with high-value, policy-driven initiatives that could be expanded to new state governments or utilities seeking to scale clean energy incentives.

Independent, fee-for-service CSE operates on a fee-for-service model with independence from shareholders and donors. This positioning can be appealing to public sector and utility clients seeking objective program design and administration without influence from sponsors, suggesting sales angles around transparent governance and credible benchmarking.

Policy and permitting growth Recent and ongoing efforts like the Energy Storage Permitting Guidebook and collaboration with large utilities point to growth opportunities in regulatory and permitting support for battery storage and distributed energy resources, particularly with local governments and state agencies.

Strategic partnerships Partnerships with organizations such as Southern Environmental Law Center and San Diego Gas & Electric demonstrate CSE’s ability to co-deliver with legal and utility partners. This opens doors for co-bid opportunities, blended services, and expanded scopes with multidisciplinary teams.

Thought leadership and training Launch of ElectrifiQ EV sales training for dealership staff and ongoing program development signals a market with demand for workforce upskilling in clean transportation sales and deployment. This can be a gateway for selling training, certification, and related enablement services to auto dealers, manufacturers, and energy retailers.
