A new report released today, ahead
of International Women’s Day on the 8th March, highlights the most
powerful women in the wind industry for the first time.
The report, Women’s Power
List 2017, is published by A Word About Wind, a market intelligence
service. It has researched and ranked the 100 most prominent women in
the industry from across the globe. The results include 24 women who
work forfinancial companies, 13 of whom are working in the UK.
The list demonstrates the important
role wind energy now plays as a source of work for international banks
and financial companies. Bankers who made the rankings were highlighted
for their work on significant renewable energy projects.
To coincide with the report,
RenewableUK has launched a new ‘Women into Wind’ initiative to encourage
women to get involved in the industry. The campaign includes details on
job opportunities, career advice and case studies, including new
entries on the Faces of Wind website.
RenewableUK’s Executive Director, Emma Pinchbeck, said:
“The UK has a
rich financial tradition and it’s great to see wind energy becoming part
of that. Female bankers in some of the world’s most
powerful firms are playing a significant role in taking the wind
industry forward, and we’re proud that the UK leads the world in this.
It’s an encouraging sign that both
sectors are becoming more inclusive, but women are still notably
absent from most senior management roles. We need to be promoting
the skills and experience to work on renewable projects
to women bankers, andto those entering the profession”.
