She joins us from EDF Renewables, where she spent the last three and a half years running their Round 4 and ScotWind tendering teams, and most recently was the Project Director for their Celtic Sea tendering aspirations. She utilized her consenting experience gained through secondments into various different developers with Scottish Projects down the east coast of Scotland as a consultant prior to joining EDF Renewables, and her understanding of engineering parameters associated with the design envelopes, to ensure that project Lifecycle Cost of Electricity (LCoE) was at the forefront of considerations for project design at all stages of the project lifecycle.
While undertaking these project delivery roles, Nancy also represented the Scottish offshore wind industry in strategic workstreams such as the Offshore Wind Industry Council’s (OWIC’s) Pathways to Growth, in which the UK offshore wind industry works in partnership with the Determining Authorities and their stakeholders to address consenting barriers within the UK system.
