Narec

Narec, since 2014 known as the National Renewable Energy Centre, is a part of the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, a UK technology innovation and research centre for offshore wind power, wave energy, tidal energy and low carbon technologies. The centre operates multi-purpose offshore renewable energy test and demonstration facilities. It is very similar to other centres, such as NREL in the US and National Centre for Renewable Energies (CENER) in Spain. The National Renewable Energy Centre is based in Blyth, Northumberland.
