ACP Announces 2026 Board of Directors

WASHINGTON, D.C., February 23, 2026 — The American Clean Power Association (ACP), the clean energy industry’s leading trade organization, has announced its new 2026 Board and Officers. The ACP Board unites the clean power sector, drawing expertise from the full suite of clean technologies. In 2026, our industry must continue to provide the energy our nation needs while navigating unprecedented political challenges. We have a tremendous amount of work to do as over 90% of all the power added to the grid this year will come from clean energy resources. With this dedicated team of leaders, ACP has the acumen and pragmatism to lead the clean power sector forward and provide the affordable, reliable power America needs.

“Our Board brings together the industry expertise needed to meet this moment for American energy,” said ACP CEO Jason Grumet. “The energy industry has never seen a storm of political chaos, demand, and attention like this before. Thankfully, with this dedicated team of leaders, ACP is well-equipped to deliver the vision and direction that will advance clean energy, and ensure we continue to provide the affordable, reliable power America relies on.”   

The new Board and Officers will serve a one-year term. They include:   

• Chair: David Carroll, CEO & Chief Renewables Officer, ENGIE North America 
• Chair-Elect: Ken Young, President and CEO, Apex Clean Energy Inc. 
• Treasurer: Manav Sharma, CEO North America, Nordex Group 
• Secretary: Andrew Flanagan, CEO, RWE Clean Energy 

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve as ACP Board Chair and thrilled to work alongside Jason at a critical moment for our country as we move to restore manufacturing and enable the growth of AI — both of which require all forms of energy,” said David Carroll, ACP Board Chair and CEO of ENGIE North America. “By working together across the industry, we can drive growth that supports jobs and local economies across the U.S. A more diversified grid is a stronger, more affordable grid, and it’s essential to building our energy future.”
