Value proposition

Formerly NECEC, ACT is the premier voice of businesses building a world-class clean energy hub in the Northeast.

ACT leads the just, equitable and rapid transition to a clean energy future and diverse climate economy.

ACT is the Alliance for Climate Transition and ACT Institute. ACT helps clean energy companies start, scale and succeed with our unique business, innovation and policy leadership.

We bring together business leaders and key stakeholders to engage in influential policy discussions and business initiatives while building connections that propel the clean energy industry forward. Our results-oriented team is highly skilled at turning a clear vision into reality and effectively influencing policy to build a world-class clean energy hub in the Northeast.

The New England Clean Energy Council (NECEC) was formed in late 2006 when leaders in the Massachusetts’ clean energy industry saw the need for a regional business association to convene clean energy stakeholders dedicated to growing the state and the region’s clean energy economy. In October 2015, reflecting our growing activities in New York State and the rapidly growing community of member companies doing business in New York and across New England, NECEC became the Northeast Clean Energy Council.

In September 2024, NECEC rebranded to ACT (The Alliance for Climate Transition) to reflect our expanding member base and broader mission to transition to a diverse climate economy.
