GWEC appoints new deputy CEO

A new chief industry officer was also named.

The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) has announced several movements in its leadership, including the appointment of Rebecca Williams as its new deputy CEO.

“This is an exciting time for both the wind industry and GWEC, and I am looking forward to stepping into this new role at such a crucial moment in the energy transition,” Williams said in a statement.

“With an ambitious global target for 3x renewables secured at COP28, and a new wave of wind markets around the world poised for rapid growth, my focus will be on supporting the industry to remove barriers and unlock bankable projects to put the industry on track for rapid growth,” she added.

Meanwhile, Stewart Mullin, who was GWEC’s COO, has been appointed as chief industry officer. Under his new position, he will help develop sectors and markets, support the council’s work with the industry and ensure interconnections between the organisation’s diverse membership.

The council also expanded its global policy team, with the addition of João Esteves as grids specialist, Benoit Moreaux as a specialist on permitting & planning, Juan Tomas as a trade specialist and Nina Melkonyan on supply chains.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
