RenewableUK is the leading renewable energy trade organisation in the UK. Established in 1978 we now represent over 700 corporate members, mainly in the wind and marine energy industries.

We are primarily a lobbying organisation, promoting the deployment of wind, wave and tidal power to government, industry, the media and the public. We also act as a central point of information for our membership and present a full annual programme of conferences, exhibitions and other networking opportunities. We commission research to provide market based evidence to support our policy positioning and to supplement our responses to government consultations on behalf of our members, and generally act as the principal forum for the UK wind, wave and tidal sectors.

Following tremendous growth in the sector and the increasingly vigorous debate surrounding renewable energy, RenewableUK is creating the post of Deputy Chief Executive to help meet the challenges facing the industry head on.
