Welcome to the Acorn Renewable Energy Co-op

The Acorn Energy Co-op is a member owned business serving the residents of the 23 towns of Addison County, Vermont, as well as nearby towns in Rutland and Chittenden Counties.

The Co-op, which emerged from our umbrella organization, the Addison County Relocalization Network (ACORN), was founded in June 2008 to help transition area communities from their near total dependence on fossil fuels to a greater reliance on affordable renewable energy strategies.

As the Co-op has grown, these programs have expanded to include biomass heat, solar hot water and community solar electricity initiatives, as well as other heating, energy and efficiency products and services.

Membership in the Acorn Energy Co-op has many benefits, including deep discounts on a premium solar hot water system, competitive residential solar PV systems, as well as bulk pellet storage systems and bulk pellet home delivery. Members also receive discounts from numerous area business partners that offer energy products and services.
