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 accelerate America’s renewable energy transition.
Today, our members are responsible for 90% of the booming utility-scale renewable energy capacity growth in the U.S. But we are not done.
The scientific consensus is clear that we must redouble our efforts to prevent a climate catastrophe, and ACORE will play a central role in meeting this existential challenge. 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 complete the energy transition.
