The key programmes, which include WSA’s grid campaign and jobs tour, will be strategically integrated into ACORE’s existing strategy this spring.
“As longtime colleagues and admirers of their impactful renewable campaigns and research, we are thrilled to have WSA’s capabilities and programs come under the ACORE umbrella” said Gregory Wetstone, ACORE’s President and CEO. “Together, we can build on our collective efforts to increase renewable energy and advance the nation’s electric grid, uniting and ultimately strengthening the entire renewable sector.”
Kevin O’Rourke, WSA’s Interim Executive Director, added that accelerating the deployment of low-cost wind and solar energy has never been more critical and that joining forces with ACORE will allow the WSA to expand its shared goals of outreach and education on the benefits of renewable energy and the policy changes needed to grow the clean energy sector at the pace that American businesses and consumers are demanding.
O’Rourke, who has served as WSA’s Interim Executive Director since January 2019, will join ACORE’s team as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Public Affairs.
