Partner Profile American Council On Renewable Energy (ACORE), a 501(c)(3) membership nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., is dedicated to bringing renewable energy into the mainstream of the U.S. economy and lifestyle through information and communications programs. ACORE provides a common platform for the wide range of interests in the renewable energy community including renewable energy industries, associations, utilities, end users, professional service firms, financial institutions, and government agencies. ACORE serves as a forum through which these parties work together on common interests. ACORE purchases a significant portion of its electricity from renewable energy certificates. As an organization devoted to making renewable energy an option for all energy consumers, ACORE views its own green power purchasing as an important example of how energy consumers can get involved and help move the clean energy transition forward. ACORE's decision to purchase green power not only helps mitigate climate change, but also fosters awareness among the organization's members, conference attendees, and the public about ways they can take action as well.
