Recharge has been described as "one of the most authoritative publications in the renewable energy sector", and as "a role model for the future of trade journalism" by German industrial giant Siemens.

Its breaking stories have been picked up by major international news organizations, including the BBC, The Washington Post and Denmark's Dagbladet Børsen.

Recharge was first established in January 2009 as a weekly newspaper, before becoming a monthly glossy magazine in January 2013.
