what we do

REA is a not-for-profit trade association, established in 2001, representing businesses powering the green economy.

REA represents those companies leading the transition to a clean energy future. Our collective goal is to accelerate the change to a cleaner and more prosperous economy that will generate jobs, increase energy security, and lead to lower bills.

The REA does this by working to secure the best legislative and regulatory framework for expanding renewable energy deployment and production to meet the UK’s electricity, heat, recycling, energy storage and transport needs.
