The National Geothermal Centre (NGC) is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Renewable Energy Association (REA), establishing a strategic partnership to advance the development of geothermal energy across the UK.

This collaboration marks a significant step in unifying the sector’s voice, aligning policy efforts and driving forward investment and regulatory progress in support of geothermal deployment.

Since its founding in 2001, the REA has worked to champion renewable technologies and advocate for an energy system that is sustainable, secure and economically viable.

With the REA acting as the secretariat for the Deep Geothermal All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) and the NGC leading the government-mandated UK Geothermal Taskforce under the leadership of CEO Dr Charlotte Adams and Board Member Professor Jon Gluyas, this partnership brings together two key organisations uniquely positioned to steer the sector through its next phase of growth.

Together, the NGC and REA will collaborate on policy engagement, stakeholder coordination and sectoral messaging to ensure geothermal energy plays a central role in the UK’s transition to a net zero economy.
