WindEurope has appointed Pierre Tardieu as its new chief policy officer.
The lobby group, formerly the European Wind Energy Association, said he will take over the role immediately, succeeding Kristian Ruby.
Tardieu (pictured) has worked at the organisation since 2011, coordinating its advocacy on issues including state aid guidelines and trade policy.
“I look forward to leading WindEurope’s policy division at this time,” he said.
“2017 will be a defining year for energy policy in Europe as member states and Parliament start negotiating the Commission’s post-2020 proposals.
“This is a great opportunity to make the case for wind energy as a key mainstream and affordable technology to meet the EU’s climate and energy challenges.”
