The British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) is changing its name to RenewableUK to reflect the diversification of its membership. The trade association was set up 31 years ago and in the last five years has expanded to represent companies from the wave and tidal energy sector. The timetable for the full implementation of the name and logo change will be completed by the Wave and Tidal Energy Conference at the QE2 Conference Centre, on the 4th March 2010.

Adam Bruce, BWEA chairman, said: "This development is essential and will aid us in implementing our vision to be the voice of authority for the renewable power sector and a credible source of information and knowledge for our members, the industry, Government, media and the public. By 2040 when we celebrate the 30th anniversary of RenewableUK, it is very likely that we would be living in a different world, the seeds of which were sown by the work of BWEA: a world of decarbonised energy generation, electric vehicles and offshore installations and grids spanning the continent of Europe. We aim to be at the forefront of this revolution."
