Application
All applications for admission to membership of the Network shall be in writing, signed by the applicant – or where the applicant is a corporation, by an authorised signatory – and delivered by post to the WREC/WREN office. Please use the application form as provided below.
Subscriptions
“Every member shall pay an annual subscription in respect of each membership year or part thereof in which they are a member, that becomes due on the first day of January, or such other due date as the Council may determine“. (WREN Constitution).
The rates for membership are as follows:
Membership class | Developed country | Developing country |

Educational or other non-commercial organisation | £230 | £190 |
Commercial or industrial organisation | £250 | £200 |

Sponsorship
Membership and conference fees alone are not enough to sustain the activities of WREN and the International Congresses. Sponsorship is therefore required urgently and will be put to good use in the development and promotion of renewable energy. Such sponsorship will be acknowledged in various WREC/WREN publications unless the sponsor specifically requests anonymity.
Payment
Payment can be made in Pound Sterling only, by a cheque or money order drawn on a British bank, made payable to WREC/WREN and sent to the Director General’s address indicated on the left hand side of this webpage.
