She will succeed Paul de Leeuw, Director of the Energy Transition Institute at Robert Gordon University from June 3rd, 2024. The NESA Board are grateful to Paul for his leadership over the past year.

Susan said: “I’m honoured to be part of this unique partnership. NESA embodies collaboration in action and will be key to supporting industry and individuals through energy transition. NESA has an exciting year ahead, continuing and expanding the great work already started, and I look forward to sharing more success stories in the future.” Paul said: “It has been a privilege and a pleasure to serve as NESA Chair again and to have helped establish NESA as a key part of the UK’s energy training ecosystem. The energy transition is accelerating and NESA’s work is crucial helping prepare the workforce to make the most of the opportunities now and in the future.” NESA will now be looking to building on its recent successes and play its part to set the energy transition and its workforce up for success.

Today we released our 'Delivering our energy future - Pathways to a just and fair transition' report for the UK's offshore energy industry. The report highlights the need for greater activity and higher UK content in renewables to counter the decline in the UK's oil and gas sector. The UK stands at a pivotal moment to shape a new energy future. By transforming the North Sea into a world class multi-energy basin, we can power the nation for years to come. The prize for the UK, its workforce, and the supply chain to get this right is huge.
