Tristan Zipfel has previously served as a co-opted member of the RenewableUK Board, while Susie Lind currently serves as interim vice chair of the Offshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC), and Kerry Hayes previously served as chair of the RenewableUK Shadow Board.

The new Board members come from diverse backgrounds, with a wide range of experience across the sector, with Susie’s background in law, Tristan specialising in financial investments and Kerry’s background in floating offshore wind project development. They will serve a three year term, joining our full appointed board of twelve in the autumn, serving from 2024-2025.

RenewableUK’s CEO Dan McGrail welcomed the results, saying:

“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”.

Kerry Hayes, Portfolio Directo of Simply Blue Group, said:

“I am absolutely delighted to have been elected to the Board at this critical time for our industry. The sector is at a pivotal point and the voice of RenewableUK is more important than ever as we seek to overcome the challenges standing in the way of net zero and reaping the benefits of the energy transition. Over the past two years, as Shadow Board Chair, I have been privileged to work closely with both the excellent RenewableUK team and Board and I am thrilled that the membership has put its faith in me to continue to support in setting and delivering the strategy of the organisation, to build on success date and overcome hurdles in the way of our sector”.

Tristan Zipfel, Director of Strategy, Markets and Investments at EDF Renewables, said:

”It is a great honour to be elected to the Renewable UK Board, and I am deeply grateful for the support of my peers.
