IREC is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit that builds the foundation for the rapid adoption of clean energy and energy efficiency, benefiting people, the economy, and our planet.

IREC is unique in its focus on addressing three essential, interrelated areas for clean energy growth: effective state energy regulation, quality workforce development, and technical assistance for local governments to streamline project deployment. 

IREC is the bridge between clean energy possibilities and real-world implementation—the expert that states, cities, and communities call when they need to turn clean energy goals into action.
