Instituted in 2001, the American Council of Renewable Energy exists to unite the efforts of companies and organizations from all sectors in tackling the issues related to energy and the environment. ACORE strives to educate and to foster the collaboration of ideas, and this effort takes on many forms, including regular press releases.

In 2017, ACORE published a report to announce the latest statistics surrounding the clean energy sector, which now employs more than three million workers.
