Chaired by Katie Jackson, and run by the Energy Institute as project partner, POWERful Women (PfW) is working to for greater representation of women at the top of the UK's energy industry. The energy sector is tackling a wide range of important issues – from energy security and affordability to building a more sustainable low carbon future. Because industry competitiveness relies on being able to attract and retain a diverse pool of talent capable of bringing fresh perspectives, PfW believes a much stronger female influence is needed at the top table. By bringing together a mix of industry, academic and political leaders – spanning exploration, energy generation & supply, energy efficiency, technology, government and consumer issues – we work to support and encourage energy companies to appoint more women to senior roles as part of building stronger businesses and adapting to changing markets. Our goals are for 40% of energy company middle management to be female by 2030. 30% of executive energy company board members to be female by 2030.
