Why join the REI Membership Programme?

Continuous professional development (CPD) is crucial in the ever changing and fast paced renewable energy industry. Professionals in the sector must constantly work to keep up to date with new technologies to remain at the forefront of their fields. Engaging with the membership programme and recording your CPD activities each year is an excellent way to demonstrate this.

Through our range of membership benefits we aim to help you with your CPD and provide a space to connect with other like-minded professionals.
