Renew- NATTA newsletter
Renewable energy news and policy
The original and best source of up to date
news and analysis!
 Renew is the 38 page bimonthly newsletter of NATTA, the Network for Alternative Technology and Technology Assessment.
NATTA was set up in 1976, with its base at the Open University. Renew was launched in 1979. Renew has been widely recognized as a leading source of up to date and reliable information.
NATTA is now independent of the OU, and Renew is now offered to NATTA members in PDF format in colour.
Renew covers UK and world news and developments in the area of renewables and sustainable energy - bringing you updates on new wind, wave, tidal, solar, biomass, geothermal, hydro projects and technical breakthroughs. In addition, it offers critical analysis of the policy context in which these new energy supply technologies are emerging and operating. It also looks at energy efficiency, and at the wider debates over energy use and climate change.
We've included a sample, if you want to see what it looks like:
We've also produced an Index to back issues of Renew, from No. 155 (May-June 2005) onward, accessible as a MS Word file here Index to Renew 155-195 doc.

AT@40
On Saturday March 17th 2012 we're helping to convene a one-day conference, "AT@40", along with CAT, the AA and the OU-EERU, to mark 40 years since the first big 'AT' conferenced held in 1972 at UCL's Bartlett School. It will look back at the history of "AT" and forward towards its prospects in the coming decades. It promises to be an interesting and thought-provoking day ! If you're interested in attending, email Claire Emburey at the Open University: c.l.embury@open.ac.uk
NATTA forum and contacts
NATTA was set up to provide a communication channel for people involved with or interested in renewable energy.
We welcome news, articles, commentary, or letters for consideration for publication in Renew. Original photos too.
Renew On-Line We also produce an on-line version of parts of the news section of Renew. See sample at Renew On-Line. ROL covers parts of the current issue of the full Renew. Recent back issues of ROL (which started as 'ROL 1' at Renew 101) are in the Archive. The latest ROL is ROL95.doc.
Note that Renew 200, out in Nov 2012, will be the last PDF version produced. After that we will be going to a free web-only version. Subscribers wishing to sign up to the remaining PDF issues will be asked to pay a progressively degressed fee ; £16 p.a. waged, £11 p.a. unwaged for the last five issues, £12/£9 if the sub starts in May-June, £8/£6 if in July-Aug, £4/£3 for Sept-Oct. These payments will have to be direct to NATTA, not via Pay Pal.
But from Jan 2013 the new version of Renew will be fully on line - and free.
