REA, the Renewable Energy Association, is a leading not-for-profit trade association that has been championing renewable energy and clean technology since its establishment in 2001. With around 500 member organizations representing all aspects of the renewable energy industry, including generators, project developers, fuel producers and distributors, equipment manufacturers, installers, and service providers, REA is the largest body of its kind in the UK. The primary goal of REA is to promote a future built on renewable energy by developing informed policies and advocating for its members to the government, ensuring that the necessary legislative and regulatory framework is in place for renewable energy deployment and production.

In addition to supporting its members, REA also collaborates with government departments, agencies, regulators, and NGOs to develop and inform policies that support a cleaner future and a growing green economy. REA's work encompasses various forms of renewable energy and clean technology, including biogas, biomass, composting, geothermal energy, electric vehicles, energy from waste, energy storage, heat pumps, hydro, landfill gas, marine renewable, transport fuels, solar, and wind. Their member forums provide a space for collaboration and knowledge-sharing, while their team, boards, and bye laws ensure smooth operations and governance.

By working towards the government's goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions, REA is driving the transition to a sustainable future where renewable energy plays a central role
