Our History

Founded in 2001,  the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) was the first organization dedicated to expanding the pan-renewable economy in the United States. For more than two decades, ACORE has sought to unite finance, policy and technology to shape America’s energy future.

Today, our members are responsible for 90% of the booming utility-scale clean energy capacity growth in the U.S. But we are not done. We’re proud to have celebrated two decades of extraordinary growth and are now focused on the next 20 years of critically important efforts to accelerate the deployment of clean energy.

In 2022, the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) proudly celebrated its 20th anniversary.
