RENEW Energy Initiative Adds New Channel to ReNewable Now Network 



April 15, 2014, Providence RI:  ReNewable Now and REI announced a strategic media partnership that will include a new media channel exclusively showcasing REI content offered through ReNewableNow.Biz. The content will consist of videos, radio shows, educational resources,  articles, and profiles of the professionals that make up the  RENEW Energy Initiative team.  The REI Channel will be accessible 24/7 on-line with both live and on-demand media.

ReNewableNow and REI share a common mission of educating the public on the business potential and the environmental benefits of using clean energy while investing in sustainable businesses. REI President, Dennis McCarthy and ReNewableNow's President, Peter Arpin were on hand to cement the media partnership.    

"The partnership between the two organizations continues to reinforce our interest in seeing the Green Economy grow," stated Peter Arpin. "We are both in the business of informing the public on the potential clean energy has in helping to create jobs.  Together we'll be able to amplify our efforts in presenting the business side of green while educating a new workforce and the public."

"Partnering with ReNewable Now will help us break into new markets while reinforcing our brand," said REI President Dennis McCarthy.  "We're excited about the launch of the REI Channel and look forward to helping businesses and the public grow, while saving money! The ReNewable Now Network is where to be if you're trying to make an impact when it comes to sustainability, and if you're looking to grow within the Green Economy. "
The RENEW Energy Initiative is a non-profit business association driven to promote the expansion of alternative energy and energy-efficiency in organizations throughout New England. As a nexus to information, people, capital and other resources, REI seeks to fill the energy needs of businesses that boosts efficiencies, reduces carbon emissions and increases corporate competitiveness. Primary service delivery is through a series of member networking events and formal training programs.

ReNewable Now will be working with REI’s team of experts to enhance its content across the network. REI’s Channel, a multi-media portal, will promote innovation and actions in clean energy. The channel is committed to growing the Green Economy.  REI will be supporting ReNewable Now’s mission with a regular monthly segment called “Inside REI” featuring REI President Dennis McCarthy.  During these segments, Dennis will share insights on new trends, activities and workshops that are available to help people grow professionally. 

As McCarthy says, “We’re interested in raising everyone’s energy IQ, and we do that by connecting them to the right information, and to local trusted resources that make a difference.  By helping people access clean energy information and easy actions they can take, ReNewable Now helps us deliver on our mission." McCarthy cites as an example of the new partnership ReNewable Now’s recent coverage of REI workshops at which experts in Geothermal Technologies and Financing Sustainable Projects were educating classrooms filed to capacity on these subjects. “Renewable Now’s coverage of our workshops helped get the message out on the education available for everyone within the community, and also reinforced the importance of this growing industry.”
