Zipfel has previously served as a co-opted member of the RenewableUK board, while Lind currently serves as interim vice chair of the Offshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC), and Hayes previously served as chair of the RenewableUK shadow board.
The board members come from diverse areas with Lind’s background in law, Zipfel specialising in financial investments and Hayes’ background in floating offshore wind project development.
They will serve a three-year term, joining the full appointed board of twelve in the autumn, serving from 2024-2025, RenewableUK said.

“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.”
