Technology-Led Innovation

As an innovation partner with industry, Narec’s confidential development and testing capabilities provide a huge draw to project developers and companies operating in the low carbon energy and electrical network supply chains.

We work with partners to generate new intellectual property for subsequent commercialisation and are actively looking to grow our R&D portfolio, through partnerships with industry and universities in the delivery of publicly-funded programmes and contract research

We help businesses to address the technical challenges and mitigate the commercial and operational risk from the deployment of new technologies out in the field.

Advancing Renewable Energy

Narec has invested over £150 million to create UK’s national translational research centre for accelerating the deployment of offshore renewable energy technologies.

Our multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers operate some of Europe’s largest translational research, development and testing facilities for offshore wind, wave, tidal and electrical network technologies.

Clients and collaborators include: project developers, utilities, major manufacturers, universities, research organisations and supply chain companies.

We play an important role in supporting delivery of the government’s policy objectives and in attracting and anchoring internationally mobile investment to the UK.
