Narec, since 2014 known as the National Renewable Energy Centre, is a part of the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, a British technology innovation and research centre for offshore wind power, wave energy, tidal energy and low carbon technologies. ORE Catapult's head office is in Glasgow, Scotland. The centre operates multi-purpose offshore renewable energy test and demonstration facilities.[1] It is similar to other centres, such as NREL in the US[2] and National Centre for Renewable Energies [es] (CENER) in Spain. The National Renewable Energy Centre is based in Blyth, Northumberland.
