Congressional Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency EXPO and Policy Forum

Check out www.eesi.org/expo for the latest information on the Congressional Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency EXPO and Policy Forum!

EESI has played a lead role in organizing every annual Congressional Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency EXPO and Policy Forum (also known as the Clean Energy EXPO) since 1997, initially alongside the Sustainable Energy Coalition, of which EESI was a founding member.

The bipartisan House and Senate Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Caucuses serve as the EXPO's honorary co-hosts. Every year, several Members of Congress attend the event to give remarks.

The EXPO, which usually takes place on Capitol Hill in June or July, brings together the latest, smartest and most dynamic clean energy-based organizations and demonstrates the impact they're having on the economy, jobs, and the nation’s infrastructure. The EXPO provides these clean energy trade associations and leading-edge companies an opportunity to engage with hundreds of Congressional staff and other attendees and demonstrate the latest technological innovations.

A Policy Forum runs concurrently with the EXPO and features dozens of clean energy executives and experts as well as many members of Congress who provide remarks throughout the event. The panels, which are livecast and available on our website, cover a wide range of topics, ranging from the electricity grid to energy-efficient passive buildings.

The 2025 EXPO and Policy Forum attracted 1,300 attendees and online viewers as well as hundreds more who casually visited the exhibits and networking reception.

Much has changed since the EXPO's scrappy beginnings. Back in 1997, most renewables were still viewed with skepticism verging on derision. Now, the EXPO is a much anticipated and appreciated event, reflecting the economic heft of today's clean energy industry. Our country’s energy revolution is in full swing!

Every year, the EXPO creates more impetus for federal action on renewable energy and energy efficiency. A strong presence by private companies shows that the industry values the role of Congress and the opportunity to share its innovations and stories with the policy community.

The EXPO is always open to the public and free for attendees.
