ACER (Canary Island, Spain), founded in 2010, is an NGO, representing renewable producers and developers across Europe, with a strong presence in the Canary Islands. It acts as a unified voice for the sector and defends members' interests, giving it a direct channel to regional and national decision-makers. Recent activity includes high-level engagement with Spain's Ministry for Ecological Transition and leadership presence in regional renewable forums, evidencing access to policymakers and convening power.

The Canary Islands Renewable Energy Association represents the interests of its members through collaboration with the media, annual events, participation in national and international renewable energy events, political lobbying, and cooperation with relevant regional and national associations. It currently has 42 active members, representing approximately 138 MW of photovoltaic energy, 574 MW of wind energy, as well as bioenergy and geothermal energy.

APREN is a non-profit association, founded in October 1988, with the mission of coordinating, representing, and defending the common interests of our members.

Its members are either singular or collective entities that are authorised to produce renewable electricity (producers); or any singular or collective entity interested in the technical, legal, financial, and economic development of electricity production from renewable energy sources and that can clearly contribute to meet APREN's purposes (non-producers). The Association represents more than 90% of all installed capacity of renewable energy sources in Portugal and develops its work together with official authorities and other similar entities, either national or international, being an important key player in the development of energy policies in Portugal, thereby promoting the deployment of renewable energy resources for electricity production.

APREN privileges the coordination and permanent contact with the Portuguese Government, the ministries responsible for energy and environmental issues and their official agencies, as well as a fruitful dialogue with the crucial national stakeholders acting in the renewable electricity sector and also with representatives from civil society. APREN also has a strong involvement at the European level, which is primarily manifested through participation in European projects and through its partnership with several European Associations aiming for the representation of its targeted technologies, thus enabling the monitoring of European Energy Policy and developments in the sector in other Member States of the European Union.
