10 Resources to Track Renewable Energy Data So You're Never Behind Our Accelerating Clean Energy Future
Get Ahead of the Electrifying Exponential Curves
Howdy all my climate heroes & cleantech buckeroos,
For the rest of my life I plan to not only track, not only share, but uplift the accelerating energy transition until we truly redistribute healthy, renewable power for all (even when dead, I plan to haunt the energy transition as an exponential curve-shaped spirit). To that end, I follow a number of trade groups, industry associations, and data aggregation resources that track the growth and projections of our clean energy future.
For the data-driven out there, I want to give you the power to track these sources yourself. So here they are:
10 Resources to Track Renewable Energy Data So You're Never Behind the Accelerating Future of Clean Energy
1. American Clean Power Association (ACP)
The American Clean Power Association (ACP) is a trade association that represents 750 clean energy companies. The ACP was founded in 2021 to unify wind, solar, storage, and transmission companies. The ACP's goal is to meet the United States' national security, economic, and climate goals.

7. International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is an intergovernmental organisation that supports countries in their transition to a sustainable energy future, and serves as the principal platform for international co-operation, a centre of excellence, and a repository of policy, technology, resource and financial knowledge on renewable energy. IRENA promotes the widespread adoption and sustainable use of all forms of renewable energy, including bioenergy, geothermal, hydropower, ocean, solar and wind energy, in the pursuit of sustainable development, energy access, energy security and low-carbon economic growth and prosperity.
8. Clean Energy Buyers Association (CEBA)
The Clean Energy Buyers Association (CEBA) is a membership association for energy customers seeking to procure clean energy across the U.S. Today, our membership of over 300 includes stakeholders from across the commercial and industrial sector, non-profit organizations, as well as energy providers and service providers.
9. American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE)
The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) is a 501(c)(3) national nonprofit organization that unites finance, policy and technology to accelerate the transition to a renewable energy economy.
10. Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI)
RMI is an independent, non-partisan, nonprofit organization of experts across disciplines working to accelerate the clean energy transition and improve lives. Since our founding in 1982 by Amory Lovins, RMI’s chairman emeritus, we have grown to over 600 staff working on four continents with a global reach and reputation. Our Mission: Transforming the global energy system to secure a clean, prosperous, zero-carbon future for all.
