Scottish Renewables has appointed seven new directors to its board.
Elected for three-year terms are Mike Hay, commercial director of RIDG Group; Clare Lavelle, head of energy consultancy at Arup; Adam Morrison, project director at EDP Renewables; and Kate Turner, Policy and Regulation Director at ScottishPower Renewables.
Joining as co-opted members for the next year are Jennifer Ballantyne, who leads Pinsent Masons' Energy & Infrastructure team; Andrew Mill, chair of the European Marine Energy Centre; and Eoghan Maguire, director of Scotland and North UK at Vattenfall, who is appointed for a second year.
Twenty candidates entered the ballot for election and a record turnout of 65% of the organisation’s 260 member companies voted.
Chairman Rob Forrest said: “It is great to see a record turnout of members engaging in what is a vital process for the proper governance of the organisation at a crucial time for all parts of our industry.
“I am delighted to welcome our new members to the board and feel confident that we have the right breadth of skills and technologies to set the priorities for our industry and represent our diverse membership in the coming year.
“It is crucial that the industry continues to work together to showcase Scotland’s renewable energy capabilities and sets out what still needs to be done in order to meet our net-zero targets.”
