About Interstate Renewable Energy CouncilFor nearly three decades, IREC has worked with industry, government, educators and other stakeholders to ensure that the broader use of renewable energies is possible, safe, affordable and practical for everyone. IREC's successes are embedded in national energy policies and in updated utility and industry standards and best practices. Its expert input continues to shape rules and regulations in more than 40 states.
IREC focuses on some of the current and often difficult issues impacting expanded renewable energy use such as rules that support renewable energy and distributed resources in a restructured market, connecting small-scale renewables to the utility grid, developing quality credentials that indicate a level of knowledge and skills competency for renewable energy professionals, and getting the right information to the right people.
IREC's members include state energy offices, city energy offices, other municipal and state agencies, national laboratories, solar and renewable organizations and companies, and individual members. In addition, IREC works with many partners including the federal government, national environmental and municipal organizations, regulatory commissions, state-appointed consumer representatives, energy service providers, utility groups, universities and research institutes.
