The Renewable Energy Association
About Us
The Renewable Energy Association was established in 2001 to represent British renewable energy producers, to provide a united voice for the renewables industry and to promote the use of sustainable energy in the UK. Since then we have grown rapidly to our current membership of just under 600.
Our membership is active across the whole spectrum of renewables: electric power, heat and biofuels. We represent a wide variety of organisations, including generators, project developers, fuel and power suppliers, equipment producers and service providers. Members range in size from major multinationals to sole traders. Our main objective is to secure the best legislative and regulatory framework for expanding renewable energy production in the UK. We undertake policy development and provide input to government departments, agencies, regulators, NGOs and others.
Other activities and services include;
·Conferences Seminars and Workshops
·Public affairs and industry PR
·Dissemination of information, including publications and newsletter
·Information on technical, legal, commercial and environmental matters
·Training courses and career opportunities
·Member networking
We welcome new members and offer a variety of membership grades.
