Two new directors have joined the board of industry body Scottish Renewables, with a third re-elected for a second term.
Scottish Renewables said the trio will help guide the organisation as it works to grow Scotland’s renewable energy sector and sustain its position at the forefront of the global clean energy industry.
The three newly-elected directors are Andrew Lyle, managing director of Edinburgh renewable energy consultancy Locogen and Nicola Percival, a senior regulatory affairs manager at RWE Renewables and Jeremy Sainsbury, director of Natural Power
Lyle is vice chair of the association’s board and has been re-elected.
Percival is elected for a three-year term. She had previously been co-opted to the Board.
Jeremy Sainsbury (pictured), director at consultancy Natural Power, re-joins Scottish Renewables’ board, on which he previously served for almost 20 years.
Scottish Renewables chair Rob Forrest said: “Our member companies have once again had a chance to shape the leadership of the industry and I look forward to working with the new directors, as well as our existing board members, as we guide the future of our organisation at this important time in the development of our industry.
“Andy, Nicola and Jeremy bring significant expertise and experience to the Board across a range of sectors and technologies, which will be invaluable as renewable energy will be at the heart of the Scottish economy as we head towards achieving our net-zero targets.”
Twelve candidates from among Scottish Renewables’ 260 member companies contested the election, which concluded on 29 January.
