The Institute for Sustainable Power, Inc. (ISP) is a non-profit organization, incorporated in 1996, to coordinate, develop, and maintain international standards for the evaluation and qualification of renewable energy (RE), energy efficiency (EE), and distributed generation (DG) training providers. 

The ultimate goal of the Institute for Sustainable Power Quality (ISPQ) credentialing process is to improve and expand the renewable energy, energy efficiency, and distributed generation industries by:

• raising the level of training quality, competency, and availability;
