Changing lives. Millions of Americans in nearly every state can more easily, safely and affordably access renewable energy today because of the unique work of the Interstate Renewable Energy Council – leading the transition to a clean energy future for more than 30 years.
IREC’s national leadership advances clean energy regulatory policy and quality workforce development. That protects a rapidly growing industry and consumers. Your organization’s support will ensure our continued progress!
This is a critical time. IREC’s unique work is needed now more than ever.

lProducing unique independent reports, insight & thought leadership.
lProtecting industry & consumers through national education/training standards & best practices.
lWorking with industry to ensure a qualified, job-ready clean energy workforce, including our veterans.
Join IREC supporters protecting progress.IREC counts on public and private funds to produce the success stories we’ve been at the forefront of since 1982. As some of our historical financial support from federal agencies is sunsetting, we must engage new partners and rely more than ever on non- governmental support.
“We support IREC because we recognize
the value of its critically important work.
IREC’s unique programs and resources
would be at risk without our help, and that
isn’t good for consumers or our industry.”
