Centre for Renewable Energy (short: SFFE, from Norwegian Senter For Fornybar Energi) is a virtual research centre working on renewable energy research, nationally in Norway. The centre is established as a cooperation between the three research institutions the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), The Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research (SINTEF) and The Institute of Energy Technology (IFE).

Research fields at the center include small scale hydropower, wind energy, solar energy, wave energy, and bio-energy as well as the social dimensions of energy use. Competence has recently been developed in ocean energy fields, especially research on offshore wind power and tidal power.

The Centre was established in 2002 due to a joint initiative from NTNU and SINTEF. In december 2005 IFE became an equivalent partner.

IIn SINTEF and IFE, SFFE is placed under the Management. At NTNU there are six strategic areas. SFFE is a centre under the strategic area Energy and Petroleum - Resources and Environment;

The operation of the centre is carried out by the coordinatior in cooperation with the management group. The management group consists of nine people chosen by The Board. Three of the members of the management group are from NTNU, four are from SINTEF and two are from IFE.
