Windfarm decommissioning specialist Reblade has appointed Andrew Jamieson (pictured) as non-executive director.
Reblade said Jamieson brings more than 30 years of experience in the UK renewable energy sector.
His career has included senior roles at ScottishPower and the founding and leadership of the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult.
Reblade said the appointment supports its plans to meet growing demand for windfarm decommissioning services as older wind assets approach the end of operational life.
Chief executive Fiona Lindsay said: “We are delighted to welcome Andrew to the Reblade board.
“His understanding of the wind energy sector is genuinely unmatched, and he brings a perspective that spans the full arc of the industry’s development.
“As the wind decommissioning challenge grows in scale and complexity, having that depth of knowledge and connection at board level is enormously valuable, and we look forward to working with him as we continue to build Reblade into the go-to partner for the wind decommissioning lifecycle.”
Andrew Jamieson said: “The wind energy sector has spent three decades building, scaling and optimising, and the industry is now entering a new phase, one that demands the same rigour, innovation and ambition when it comes to end-of-life management.
“To enable new onshore projects to be consented swiftly and cost effectively, the assets we’ve built need to come down safely, responsibly, and sustainably.
“Reblade’s approach to that challenge is exactly what the industry needs: genuinely integrated, technically credible, and built on deep understanding of how windfarms actually operate.
“From turnkey decommissioning to blade waste innovation, the company is already building the solutions the sector will depend on.
“I’m looking forward to contributing to that work and to help position Reblade as the natural first call for operators, developers and asset owners navigating the full wind lifecycle.”
Reblade said the appointment comes ahead of the All-Energy event in Glasgow on 13 and 14 May.
