REES was established in 2014 within the purview of the Ministry of Environment to provide an umbrella for renewable energy services and energy management companies, with the purpose of defending their interests and improving the renewable energy and energy management market. Membership of REES has reached more than 45 companies as of September 2021.

REES works closely with governmental ministries and regulators, as well as electricity distribution companies to better serve consumers and service providers. REES actively participated in establishing the Coalition of Energy Services Associations “CESA” and is one of its three-member associations. REES conducts regular meetings with top officials of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) and
Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC), including meetings with the Minister of MEMR and the head of EMRC. These meetings and other collaborative efforts with different government agencies are to serve the sector and to resolve any standing issues.

On February 21, 2019, REES held the “Renewable Energy in Jordan: Present and Future” forum. The forum was under the patronage of her Excellency the Minster of MEMR. It addressed the two main issues of energy burden on the national economy and the future of energy services companies in the ever-evolving energy market. The forum issued a list of recommendations, aiming at improving the state of renewable energy and energy efficiency services in the Kingdom. These recommendations were discussed at the highest ranks of the government and by chambers of industry and commerce.

In 2020, REES started the establishment of an “Association of Energy Engineers (AEE)” energy chapter. The new AEE energy chapter held several preparatory workshops in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency since the beginning of the year. In June 2021, AEE granted REES a chapter status. The plan for the chapter is to offer an assortment of popular training courses usually conducted by AEE such as CEM®, CRM®, REP®, CEA®, EEP® and others.
