What Mississippi Energy Institute does
Mission
The Mississippi Energy Institute's mission is to conduct research and develop coordinated state level policies that support a reliable and expanding energy portfolio that is environmentally responsible; to understand and engage in the national energy debate; and to take advantage of the market opportunities ensuring mississippi's economic development competitiveness.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Research and policy development is the organization's major accomplishment. The organization's 10 committees crafted six strategic goals: 1) developing and deploying all of mississippi's natural, nuclear, and renewable resources for the future in an environmentally responsible manner. 2) expanding mississippi's carbon capture and sequestration industry. 3) encouraging energy efficiency and the smart grid in mississippi. 4) preparing mississippi's 21st century workforce for existing and emerging energy sector needs and innovation. 5) supporting the development of energy infrastructure and advanced energy sector manufacturing in mississippi. 6) assessing the impact of federal and state regulatory proposals. A "roadmap" was developed to move the organization towards accomplishing these goals through research and developing coordinated state level policies that support a reliable and expanding energy portfolio.
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $304k to $184k (−39%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
98% of MISSISSIPPI ENERGY INSTITUTE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
