Common Charge is a 501(c)3 entity that is a mission-driven, non-profit with an intentional mix of private companies, advocacy organizations, non-profit research groups, and industry experts. We recognize that there is great value in combining the on-the-ground knowledge that market participants have about real-world implementation challenges and the effects of policies and regulation. At the same time, we recognize that a larger vision must rise above the specific interests of any company or technology.

Common Charge is mission-driven and industry-informed. We are not a trade association. Participation does not entitle any member to expect the organization to pursue specific initiatives on its behalf. Instead, membership in Common Charge expresses support for the mission of the organization, a commitment to coordinated action, and the willingness to contribute financially to the organization’s capacity to achieve its mission and goals.

Membership contribution

Rather than fixed membership dues, we employ a tiered structure of recommended pay-what-you-can contributions. Below are suggested initial contributions that will be used to bolster our seed funding and help launch the first set of policy initiatives. These thresholds are intended to provide several metrics by which to determine the appropriate contribution level, recognizing that often a single metric does not reflect the diversity of companies operating in the energy industry. Companies are encouraged to select the tier that most appropriately aligns with the operations and financial capacity.
