What Does an REP Do?
Renewable energy professionals are energy managers that have selected to focus on energy generation, production, storage technologies and strategies that are considered “green and clean,” renewable or sustainable. These may include wind power, solar, thermal, or photovoltaic, geothermal, biopower, tidal, and hydroelectric technologies. They use their specialized knowledge to assist firms or organizations to set goals for renewable energy projects and to maximize benefits when implementing these systems at small or large scales.
