14, 2010. The REEEAC was re-chartered most recently on May 27, 2022. 
The REEEAC provides the Secretary of Commerce with advice from the 
private sector on the development and administration of programs and 
policies to expand the export competitiveness of U.S. renewable energy 
and energy efficiency products and services. More information about the 
REEEAC, including the list of appointed members for this charter, is 
published online at http://trade.gov/reeeac.
    On Wednesday, May 22, 2024, the REEEAC will hold the eighth meeting 
of its current charter term. The Committee, with officials from the 
Department of Commerce and other agencies, will discuss major issues 
affecting the competitiveness of the U.S. renewable energy and energy
