Recharge is a business news website and bi-monthly magazine covering the global renewable energy industry, particularly wind and solar power. It is owned by Norway's NHST Media Group, but headquartered in London, with full-time editorial staff in the US, UK, Brazil, and Germany.
Contents
Recharge has been described as "one of the most authoritative publications in the renewable energy sector", and as "a role model for the future of trade journalism" by German industrial giant Siemens.
Its breaking stories have been picked up by major international news organizations, including the BBC, The Washington Post and Denmark's Dagbladet Børsen.
Recharge was first established in January 2009 as a weekly newspaper, before becoming a monthly glossy magazine in January 2013.
It also produces Daily newspapers at industry trade events including the European Wind Energy Association's (how WindEurope's) annual conference and exhibition and biannual offshore iteration, as well as for the American Wind Energy Association's annual expo.
Thought Leaders Summit
Recharge's "Thought Leaders Summit" was an invitation-only conference for senior international renewable-energy executives held in Holmenkollen (Norway) on January 9, 2014. It is intended to become an annual event and operates under the Chatham House rule.
The meeting was attended by about 50 senior professionals from the global renewable-energy industry, including high-level executives from Siemens, Vestas, Statoil and E.ON. The keynote speech was delivered by Scotland's energy minister, Fergus Ewing and the event was officially opened by Henrik O. Madsen.
Awards
In 2010, Recharge was awarded the Advocate of the Year award by the UK's Renewable Energy Association, the first time the prize had been given to a publication.
