Susie Lind, Managing Director for BlueFloat Energy | Renantis Partnership, has been appointed to the Board of Renewable UK, the UK’s leading not-for-profit renewable energy trade association, following an election by member organisations earlier this month.

Susie leads the development of the Partnership’s UK floating offshore wind projects and new business opportunities and is a serving non-executive Director of Scottish Renewables, as well as Interim Vice-Chair of the Offshore Wind Industry Council, (Co-Chaired by industry and UK Government).

Elected from a pool of 18 candidates, Susie joins Kerry Hayes of Simply Blue Group and Tristan Zipfel of EDF Renewables with each serving a three year term.

Susie commented: “I’m incredibly grateful for members’ support to join the team at Renewable UK and help advance our collective ambition. My focus will be firmly fixed on bringing forward swifter policy reforms, capitalising on an incoming Government and building on the strength of the many existing great relationships with industry. Above all, I’m committed to maintaining the UK’s standing as a global leader in renewable energy development, capitalising on our export potential, showcasing our capacity for innovation and excellence whilst maximising the benefits for all.”

Renewable UK’s CEO Dan McGrail said: “I am thrilled to congratulate and welcome our new board members elected from an exceptional pool of talented industry professionals. I’m very pleased our new members represent a diverse mix of backgrounds from across the country, as well as a broad range of skills across various important parts in the industry. This wealth of expertise will be crucial for the sector and members as the new Board hits the ground running setting the agenda for renewables with the upcoming general election and new government”.
