Using the generalized renormalisation group formalism, we calculate quantum corrections to the effective potential in α-attractor models describing the inflationary stage of the Universe evolution. We demonstrate that quantum corrections lead to a change in the initial classical potential, changing its value at the minimum, which can be interpreted as a manifestation of the cosmological constant or dark energy.
