BWEA CEO moving on

After three years leading the BWEA, the UK's largest renewable energy association, Marcus Rand, BWEA's CEO announced that he will be leaving the Association at the beginning of May.

Commenting on the announcement Marcus Rand said:

’It's been a fantastic three years at the BWEA and I've loved every minute of it. We've come an awful long way in a short period of time expanding our influence, turnover, and work programme for our greatly increased membership base. I'm now ready for a new challenge and am actively considering a couple of exciting options. As an Association we've achieved an enormous amount and I'm very proud that I've played my part during such a critical phase in the industry's development in moving wind into the mainstream where it belongs."

Chris Shears, BWEA Chair, said:

’Marcus has been a valuable and dedicated CEO who has steered the BWEA through an exciting period in the growth of the wind and marine renewable energy industries. He leaves the Association in a strong position and ready to face up to the next exciting chapter in our development. This is a crucial period for this industry with the Energy Review now underway and I'm therefore delighted that Marcus will be with us for the next three months to lead our response. He's a great guy who'll be sadly missed and I would like to wish him every success in the future’

 

BWEA is the UK's largest renewable energy association with over 310 companies in membership. Formed in 1976, BWEA now champions the UK wind and marine renewables industry.
