Services
ACE provides workshops and training on community clean energy development. These local, regional, and national activities include, but are not limited to conference presentations, lectures, panel discussions, Q&A sessions. ACE (insert link: www.actionforcleanenergy.org) has worked with or is continuing to work with many organizations such as the Northeast Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), national Renewable Energy Labs (NREL), the United States Department of Energy (DOE), Windustry.org, the Massachusetts Climate Action Network (MCAN), and the Institute for Professional and Executive Development (IPED).

ACE is currently developing a relationship with New Generation Energy, a local non-profit organization, to develop project-specific capabilities for renewable, clean energy development projects, with the goal of (1) creating green investment opportunities for eco-friendly, socially responsible investors and (2) providing funding options for communities that may otherwise not able to afford to get involved in renewable, clean energy development projects.
