Ana Musat [square]RenewableUK has appointed Ana Musat as executive director of policy and engagement.

Musat will start her role in October and lead policy and advocacy activity to drive change in the regulatory environment. 

She is currently head of policy at Aldersgate Group where she works with the cross-industry business and NGO membership to shape the group’s policy outputs in the climate and environmental space. 

Musat said: “At a time of high energy costs driving inflation and impacting industry and households, accelerating deployment of low-cost renewables is critical. Whilst the renewables sector is one of the great successes in the UK decarbonisation story, many challenges remain in delivering the net zero infrastructure we need more quickly, building a more flexible energy system and reforming energy markets to enable consumers to benefit from the falling cost of renewables. This is why I’m excited to join Dan and the whole team at RenewableUK in working with industry and government to achieve this vision.

“With a new government expected this autumn, we have a great opportunity to show how the renewables sector can answer some of the most pressing questions that the future PM will have to address from day one.”

Dan McGrail, CEO of RenewableUK, said: ”The gas crisis underlines the need for a rapid shift to cheap renewables and, just this week, the government set out proposals for the biggest market reforms in a generation. These will be crucial changes for the sector and we need a market that provides low cost power to consumers, unlocks investment at the scale needed and supports sustainable supply chains. Ana will bring expertise, passion and drive to this role and I am looking forward to working with her to help our members deliver the transition to net zero.”
