The New England Clean Energy Council’s mission is to accelerate New England’s clean energy economy to global leadership by building an active community of stakeholders and a world-class cluster of clean energy companies.

The Council represents a diverse set of stakeholders, including clean energy companies, venture investors, major financial institutions, local universities and colleges, industry associations, area utilities, labor and large commercial end-users. The Council’s ranks include 50 clean energy CEOs, representatives from most of the region’s top 10 law firms, and partners from over a dozen of the region's top venture capital firms (with a total of over $8 billion under management).

Working with our stakeholders, we develop and execute a wide array of programs in five key focus areas: Innovation, Growth, Education and Training, Adoption, & Policy.

The Council believes that our future depends upon synergistic collaborations among the diverse segments of the clean energy cluster and a foundation of sound regional, national, and global energy policy that encourages the development and deployment of clean energy solutions. With such collaborations and policy foundation in place, it is the Council’s belief that our region, with its considerable innovation assets, can leverage the power of free markets to become a leading provider of clean energy solutions to the global marketplace, while creating a powerful economic engine for New England, capable of generating tens of many thousands of new jobs in the coming decade and beyond.
