ACRRE Convention

ACRRE 2025 is where clean energy leaders confront economic disruption and build what’s next—community-rooted, capital-ready, and just.

About this Event


Survive the Shift. Thrive in the Storm.

The clean energy movement is at a crossroads.

As federal funds pause, costs rise, and political winds shift, companies and communities are being forced to adapt. But in this storm lies opportunity. The ACRRE Convention is where Black and Brown leaders across clean energy, finance, policy, and development gather to face economic realities—and build the future anyway.

Now in its third year, ACRRE 2025 is the only national event designed to accelerate clean energy projects in historically underserved communities through capital access, strategic partnerships, and community-driven innovation.

Why It Matters

This is not business as usual. In a time of volatility, ACRRE serves as a stabilizing force—a space to reconnect, re-strategize, and re-energize around what’s possible for clean energy equity.

Join us as we shift from survival to strategy. From disinvestment to deal flow. From disruption to collective action.
