Shepherd and Wedderburn LLP’s head of clean energy and banking partner Clare Foster is among the new members of the board of RenewableUK.

Ms Foster brings to the role a wealth of legal knowledge in renewable energy finance across multiple clean energy technologies.

RenewableUK chair Stephen Bull, senior vice president, wind and carbon capture and storage at Equinor, said: “It’s great to have these industry heavyweights offering their wealth of experience to RenewableUK. They will help to set the agenda at a crucial time, as the government has committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, and ministers are due to publish an energy white paper which is expected to set out a new strategy for the power sector.

“The industry is implementing the landmark offshore wind sector deal, and we’re continuing to make a strong case for supporting onshore wind and marine energy. On a wider level, we’re re-thinking the way our entire energy system works as we incorporate more renewable power onto the grid. Our board plays the central role in ensuring we achieve our objectives.”
