New York, NY – Today, ACORE celebrated 25 years by ringing The Opening Bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), marking an important milestone and sending a clear message that clean energy is a foundational economic engine of the 21st century.

“When ACORE was founded 25 years ago, our goal was to prove the economic case for clean power. Today, as we ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange, we are celebrating the reality that clean energy is now the cheapest, most reliable, and most scalable source of power available,” said ACORE President and CEO Ray Long. “Our focus remains on the future. We are facing unprecedented electricity demand growth, and we need to deploy capital faster than ever before to build the grid of tomorrow. The financial momentum is here, and the clean energy economy is ready to deliver the abundant, low-cost power our nation demands.”

Founded in 2001, ACORE was the first organization dedicated to expanding the pan-renewable economy in the United States. For 25 years, ACORE has worked toward its vision of an electrified economy powered by clean energy that supports an improved quality of life for all. Today, ACORE members are the investment engine behind the massive clean energy deployment that is helping ensure that Americans’ energy needs are met.
