Clean Power on the Hill

Clean Power on the Hill gives ACP members the unique opportunity to visit Washington, D.C., and share their personal experiences in one-on-one meetings with Members of Congress and their staff. Attendees participate in advocacy training and then put that training into action, educating legislators and their staff on the clean power industry’s top federal policy initiatives.

Who Should Attend?

From field technicians to installers, executives, engineers, and business development personnel, a diverse group of industry representatives is welcome to attend and show Congress the real power of clean power—our people.

This event was amazing and gave me a renewed respect for the people in our industry that work directly with congressional representatives every day. It is very hard and constantly changing, and so important to allowing us to reach for our clean power and climate goals!

This event was a great opportunity to connect to other people in the industry, learn how things work on the Hill, and spend time participating in the advocacy process.

Having the opportunity to speak with my congressman and others that have a stake in clean energy was certainly valuable. I was able to convey how important the industry is for my Congress person’s district and how important the industry has been for me and my family. #democracyinaction
