Renewable energy information service
All you need to get access to up to date news and independent views on renewable energy developments and policies in the UK and globally.
This is the main access site for Renew and NATTA- the Network for Alternative Technology and Technology Assessment. NATTA was set up as an independent information service in 1976, and Renew, its bimonthly newsletter, started up in 1979, with a free electronic version, Renew On Line, starting up after issue 100 .
