- Scottish Renewables has appointed three directors following a sector-wide election among its member organisations.
- The appointments strengthen board expertise across legal services, renewable project development and net-zero investment strategy.
Scottish Renewables has appointed three new directors to its board following an election among its more than 380 member organisations.
The industry body confirmed that the newly elected directors will serve an initial three-year term. They will help guide the organisation’s long-term strategy and support growth across Scotland’s renewable energy sector.
The successful candidates are Susie Lind of CMS UK, Gillian Noble of ScottishPower Renewables, and Jimmy Williamson of the Scottish National Investment Bank.
Susie Lind has secured re-election to the board. She brings more than 20 years of experience across the energy and legal sectors. Therefore, she strengthens the board’s regulatory and commercial advisory capacity.
Meanwhile, Gillian Noble joins the board for the first time. She currently leads onshore wind, solar, and battery energy storage development at ScottishPower Renewables. As a result, she adds strong project delivery and renewable deployment expertise to the board.
In addition, Jimmy Williamson also joins as a new director. He serves on the Scottish National Investment Bank’s leadership team. Notably, he leads net-zero investment origination. Consequently, he strengthens the board’s focus on climate finance and clean energy investment mobilisation.
Following the election, Iain Sinclair and Kate Turner stepped down from the board. However, Adam Morrison will step down as chair in March while remaining a board director.
Scottish Renewables Chief Executive Claire Mack congratulated the newly appointed directors. She said the board reflects the full breadth of Scotland’s renewable energy ecosystem. Furthermore, she noted that the new directors bring expertise spanning legal services, project development, and clean energy investment.
She also emphasised that the board plays a critical leadership role in unlocking the sector’s full potential during the global energy transition. At the same time, she highlighted that the industry must balance long-term growth planning with near-term market and policy challenges.
Mack also acknowledged the contributions of outgoing board members. In particular, she praised Adam Morrison for his leadership during a period of rapid industry expansion and structural change. Additionally, she thanked Iain Sinclair and Kate Turner for their service to the organisation.
Looking ahead, Morrison will continue supporting Scottish Renewables as a board member. Meanwhile, he will take on a new role as Chair of the Offshore Wind Industry Council. As a result, the move is expected to strengthen collaboration across the UK’s offshore wind sector.
