Recharge

What Recharge does

Recharge is a digital business intelligence publication focused on the renewable energy industry, with primary emphasis on the wind and power sectors and secondary coverage of solar, energy storage, finance, policy, power markets, and technology. Founded in 2008, the company operates the rechargenews.com website and delivers award-winning international coverage of breaking news, in-depth features, and analysis to C-suite executives, senior management, and decision-makers at wind farm developers, utilities, OEMs, and energy companies. The editorial product is organized into topic-specific sections and is augmented by subscriber-only services such as the "My Alerts" notification feature.

The underlying technology is a conventional digital media publishing platform delivering content via website, email newsletter, and social channels (LinkedIn, X, Facebook). Recharge is part of DN Media Group Global AS, a Norwegian private media conglomerate headquartered in Oslo that also owns IntraFish Media, Upstream, Hydrogen Insight, and TradeWinds. The company maintains a four-office international footprint (Oslo, London as regional headquarters, Stamford CT, Singapore) supporting global editorial coverage and advertiser/sponsorship relationships.

Recharge operates a multi-stream revenue model combining recurring reader subscriptions, advertising sales (via a dedicated sales channel at rechargeadvertise.com), and paid events including the Recharge Wind Power Summit (with APAC editions), Leadership Breakfast Roundtables, and the recently announced Technology Optimists 2026 conference. Go-to-market is digital-first, subscription-led, and professionally targeted, with event-based monetization layered on top of the editorial subscription base. Recharge is privately held as a wholly-owned subsidiary of DN Media Group Global AS, with no external venture funding and no public listing.
