How to choose the right room

Electricity or certificates?

RE-Source is a starting point for corporate electricity procurement and PPAs. EMA offers environmental certificate-market context; check the geography and instrument before proposing a meeting.

Separate finance from procurement

ACORE Grid Forum provides grid, infrastructure and policy context. These conversations can support project development, but attendance is not evidence that a company is shopping for an electricity contract.

Build a relevant account list

Prioritize organizations with load in your delivery market. Research procurement responsibility, contract timing and certificate requirements before approaching delegates. For equipment and installations, use our solar and storage selection.

Compare dates, prices and access

Upcoming events include editions ending today (UTC). Use past editions for historical comparison. Audience descriptions help you qualify fit; they do not guarantee attendance, introductions or access to restricted sessions.

ACORE Grid Forum 2026

Tickets

On request

Washington, D.C., USA · North America · Oct 22, 2026

ACORE Grid Forum is a single-day gathering at Convene Hamilton Square in Washington, D.C., themed "Where Markets Meet Metal," built around five panels and 30-plus expert speakers connecting transmission and power-market finance with utility and corporate off-taker decision-makers. Renewable-energy and grid-infrastructure sellers get senior buyers in one concentrated day.

Who's thereThe official event page states more than 60 percent of attendees hold C-suite, VP, or Director-level titles and puts total attendance at 150-plus people from clean energy companies, spanning corporate off-takers, developers, financial institutions, investors, and utilities. It names Amazon, Bank of America, Berkshire Hathaway Energy, Goldman Sachs, Google, J.P. Morgan, Meta, NextEra Energy, Walmart, and Wells Fargo among 20-plus organizations, though these are listed as part of the forum's executive council or sponsor group rather than a confirmed attendee roster.

TicketsRegistration pricing is not published on the official event page or on its Swoogo registration site (acore.swoogo.com/GridForum2026); both link straight to a Register Now action without any visible fee table. Exact cost, any member versus non-member split, early-bird deadline, and tax status are not disclosed publicly and must be obtained from ACORE directly.

Access & notesDate, single-day format, and the 150-plus / 60-percent-senior stats are confirmed on official ACORE pages. Venue is Convene Hamilton Square, 600 14th Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20005, disclosed only on the Swoogo registration page. No public pricing exists on either official page, so contact ACORE directly to confirm cost and any discount before budgeting a sponsorship.

Room: The official page states 150-plus attendees with more than 60 percent at C-suite, VP, or Director level, across 5 panels and 30-plus speakers. The page does not clarify whether the attendance figure reflects a past edition or is a projection for the October 2026 date, so it should be read as an organizer figure rather than a verified actual.

Go if You sell renewable PPA, REC/EAC, or transmission-finance services to corporate off-takers and utilities. One dense day of C-suite and VP access, with named off-takers like Amazon, Google, and Meta.

Skip if You're an early-stage vendor without an enterprise-ready offering, or you sell packaging or water rather than renewables and transmission finance. The single-track agenda is grid and power-market finance only.

Worth knowing: Date, single-day format, and the 150-plus / 60-percent-senior stats are confirmed on official ACORE pages. Venue is Convene Hamilton Square, 600 14th Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20005, disclosed only on the Swoogo registration page.

A buyers-only day (Nov 3) precedes the main two-day conference (Nov 4-5).

Room: Organizer-published figures, repeated across both the 2025 and 2026 event promotion rather than broken out as a verified count for this specific edition: 1,400+ participants, 350+ corporate energy buyers, 400+ B2B meetings, 140+ speakers.

Go if You sell renewable power, PPAs, RECs or Guarantees of Origin, EV fleet electrification, or carbon accounting services to European corporate energy buyers, or you are a project developer or utility after face-to-face time with buyer-side procurement teams.

Skip if You don't sell directly into corporate PPA or REC procurement. The event is buyer-heavy by design, with free tickets for energy buyers and a dedicated buyers-only day, so other sustainability vendors will find a thin audience.

Worth knowing: November 3 is reserved for energy buyers; suppliers should plan around the November 4–5 main event.
