Expand, Integrate, & Modernize the Grid
About ACEG
Americans for a Clean Energy Grid (ACEG) is a non-profit broad-based public interest advocacy coalition focused on the need to expand, integrate, and modernize American’s high-capacity transmission grid.
Expanded high-voltage transmission will make America’s electric grid more affordable, reliable, and secure, and allow us to tap all economic energy resources and create millions of well-compensated jobs. But an insular, outdated, and often short-sighted transmission planning and permitting system stands in the way of achieving those goals.
ACEG brings together diverse support for an expanded and modernized grid from business, labor, consumer and non-profit groups, developers, and other transmission supporters to educate policymakers and key opinion leaders to support policy which recognizes the benefits of a robust transmission grid. ACEG is a 501(c)(3) organization.
Our Mission
ACEG’s mission is to educate and advocate for policies and regulations favoring the expansion, modernization, and integration of the high-capacity electric transmission grid in order to achieve a resilient, reliable, and affordable economy.
Leadership
ACEG is led by an Executive Director and a Board of Directors. The Board is made up of experts representing the highly diverse nature of the ACEG coalition who agree that a modernized, expanded, high-voltage grid is key to a reliable and affordable energy future.
