Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG)

Established in 2001, AREG aims to ensure that Aberdeen City and Shire and its businesses play a major role in the energy revolution.

AREG seeks to position the region as a renewable centre of excellence through initiating and delivering key renewable projects, working with member companies to identify and promote opportunities for them individually or collectively.

AREG is an incorporated company with an independent board and its wide-ranging activities and projects are supported by the Energising Aberdeen Fund. This fund is administered by Aberdeen City Council and represents a £22.25 million investment in the future of Aberdeen over five years by the Scottish Government.

With over 160 members, AREG represents an impressive breadth and depth of energy experience and expertise which continues to grow.

AREG members include energy businesses, research institutes, oil service companies, professional consultants and economic development agencies. Their remarkable diversity extends into every source of renewable energy – onshore and offshore wind, wave, tidal, biomass, fuel cell, photovoltaic, solar thermal and geothermal.
