Day 1 - Educational Sessions
The training covered the key industry advocacy asks and lobbying best practices, and it offered a chance for questions.
Your clean energy story matters.
Clean Power on The Hill connects ACP Members with our country's political decision makers.
Clean Power on The Hill gives ACP members the unique opportunity to visit Washington, DC, and share their personal experiences in small group 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.
Thank you to the nearly 200 ACP members who came together in Washington, DC this year to underscore the importance of clean energy in the United States
Who Attended?
From field technicians and installers to executives, engineers, and business development professionals, a diverse group of industry representatives came together to show Congress the real power of clean energy—our people.

Day 2 - Congressional Meetings

Meeting Day Groups
To make the biggest impact, attendees were grouped by their state, maximizing the chance of meeting directly with their Members of Congress.
This tailored approach helped secure more meetings, ensured more impactful conversations, and made it easier to refine the meeting flow and navigate the Hill.
Policy Priorities for 2026
Each year, ACP selects key “asks” to focus its lobby day efforts and ensure a powerful, unified voice. In 2026, attendees brought a unified message to Capitol Hill focused on the importance of clean energy manufacturing in America, highlighting the economic impact of clean energy projects and the policies needed to keep the industry growing.
During meetings with congressional offices, participants shared:

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
