What Renewables Now does

Renewables Now Ltd. is a privately held vertical business news publication headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria, that has delivered news and analysis to renewable-energy professionals globally since 2009. The company operates a single web platform at renewablesnow.com organized into content modules by sector (Solar Power, Onshore Wind, Energy Storage, Offshore Wind, Hydrogen, and Other Renewables), region (Europe, MENA, US & Canada, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa), and topic (Capacity, Deals, Financing, Orders, Corporate PPAs, Regulations, Tenders). Coverage spans 100+ topics, 200+ countries, and the full set of renewable-energy industries, with discovery supported by an Advanced Search tool filtering by industry, country, topic, keyword, and period, and engagement supported by daily and weekly email newsletters, customizable topic and country alerts, an events calendar, and an Insights vertical for long-form interviews and analysis. The site is built on Next.js and distributed via Google News, RSS feeds, and organic social channels (Facebook, X, LinkedIn).

The business operates a dual revenue model: recurring subscription revenue from renewable-energy professionals who pay for premium access to additional articles, insights, and configurable newsletters and alerts; and advertising revenue sold through a dedicated advertising proposition aimed at brands seeking reach among the publication's audience. Renewables Now is a member of the SeeNext community of specialized business news publications, which provides shared research and cross-publication resources, and its website and brand were designed by StudioX. The company does not offer a public API, SDK, or app; its only programmatic content-distribution surface is a News RSS feed. With 11–50 employees and no disclosed funding rounds, ownership beyond the SeeNext affiliation, or revenue figures, Renewables Now functions as a small, mature, editorially driven niche media business.
