Renewable Energy Regions Network

Wales has joined a network of European regional governments to help speed up the change to renewable energy.

The Renewable Energy Regions Network (RENREN) project was launched at a conference in Germany in April 2010. The conference saw the network's 14 members debating how they can all tackle climate change and ensure a secure and sustainable energy supply.

The network is funded by the European Union’s Interreg IVC programme: Innovation & Environment Regions of Europe Sharing Solutions. The programme provides funding for interregional cooperation across Europe.

RENREN will work to:

  • improve regional frameworks for renewable energy expansion;
  • explore how to help the development of renewables; and 
  • how to support different technologies, such as marine, wind, biomass (energy from plant or animal material) or solar.

The project will also focus on sharing good practice. The outputs of the project will be made available at events and on the project's website.
