After reading a call to action in Home Power Magazine, a group of friends took to the local farm kitchen and organized what is remembered as The First Annual Energy Fair held at the Amherst fairgrounds in Soon after the MREA was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to promote renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable living through education and demonstration.

3 A Leader in Continuing Education In 2018 over 350 attendees participated in our Solar Professionals workshop series. Workshops are presented by top manufacturers and distributors in the industry, and approved for NABCEP CECs. Mark Snyder from Crown Battery leads a Solar Professional Workshop. The MREA Energy Fair is the largest gathering of knowledge and access to professional educators anywhere in the Midwest. To have so many training options to choose from and the ability to attain NABCEP credits at an event this affordable is almost unheard of in the solar industry today.
