The Northern Ireland Renewables Industry Group (NIRIG) is relaunching as RenewableNI.
RenewableNI head Steven Agnew (pictured) said: “Our continued membership growth in the recent months has in turn helped us grow our ambitions.
“Our new concise and fresh branding is reflective of these ambitions and brings us closer in line with that of our partner associations, RenewableUK and IWEA.
“As part of the rebranding activity, we are also updating our website which will host facts and statistics about renewable energy as well as the latest research and reports.”
The trade association represents over 40 businesses across the sector and said it has seen continued growth in membership over the last year.
RenewableNI, in consultation with its members, has called on the Northern Ireland Executive to set a target for 80% renewable electricity by 2030.
“This target would see us harness the economic and environmental benefits of renewables and build on the successes we have already achieved,” said Agnew, former leader of the Green Party in Northern Ireland.
He added: “As we launch our rebrand to RenewableNI, we welcome the commitment of the Economy Minister, Diane Dodds, to a minimum target of 70% renewable electricity by 2030.
“We will continue to press our 80 by 30 ambition as this is will help generate a green economic recovery and significantly reduce carbon emissions.”
