The Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA) generates three publications per year. These publications feature clean energy and sustainable living education and are comprised of the Training Catalog, Pre-Fair Guide, and The Energy Fair Program Guide. Each edition reaches a readership of renewable energy practitioners, sustainably-minded businesses, organizations, homeowners, students, and individuals with a sincere interest in sustainable living.

MREA distributes the publications online and in print around the Midwest. Advertising proceeds help cover the cost of printing and postage for distribution. Thank you for your support!

The catalog is available for viewing in print and online. It is distributed at all MREA outreach events year-round and mailed upon request to alumni and potential students. Additionally, we share a digital version of the Catalog in our monthly newsletter and house an online version on our website for year-round viewing. This is a great place for PV contractors to advertise vacancies and suppliers to showcase renewable products!
