Summary
Established in July 1996, the Australian Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Renewable Energy (ACRE) conducted research into power generation, storage and conditioning, energy efficiency, system integration and policy analysis. The CRC ceased to operate from Dec 2003, but some aspects of it continued on as ACRE Ltd, which was wound up on 30 June 2004. Many of the activities formerly undertaken by ACRE are now undertaken by the Research Institute for Sustainable Energy (RISE).
From their Web site (http://acre.murdoch.edu.au), May 2002: "The Australian Cooperative Research Centre for Renewable Energy (ACRE) seeks to create an internationally competitive renewable energy industry. ACRE brings together excellent research capabilities and market knowledge into a world class centre for innovation and for the commercialisation of renewable energy systems."
