Tara Singh has been named the new Chief Executive Officer of RenewableUK, the leading trade association for the United Kingdom’s renewable energy industry. She will officially take up the role on 23 February 2026, succeeding former CEO Dan McGrail and stepping into leadership at a pivotal moment for clean energy development in the UK. Singh brings more than two decades of experience across government, global energy companies and public affairs. She currently serves as Managing Director of Public Policy at Burson, where she leads work advising on energy transition and infrastructure issues. Her background also includes senior roles at Shell’s Renewable and Energy Solutions Division and serving as an Energy and Environment Adviser at 10 Downing Street, where she worked closely with top policymakers on climate and energy matters. In announcing her appointment, RenewableUK highlighted Singh’s deep understanding of the clean energy landscape and her ability to bridge industry and government priorities. She said her focus will be on ensuring that the UK’s clean energy sector which now generates roughly half the nation’s electricity continues to grow in ways that strengthen energy security, lower costs for consumers and attract investment across regions. RenewableUK represents nearly 500 member companies spanning wind, marine, renewable hydrogen, energy storage and other key technologies. Under Singh’s leadership, the organisation aims to enhance collaboration between policymakers and industry to accelerate deployment of clean power infrastructure, support net-zero goals and foster economic opportunities tied to the energy transition. Singh’s appointment comes at a time when the UK is navigating evolving auction results for renewable contracts and advancing ambitious targets for offshore wind, solar and other clean technologies. Her experience in both public policy and corporate leadership positions her to champion coordinated action across government, industry and civil society. #RenewableUK #CleanEnergy #UK #NetZero #EnergyTransition #WindEnergy #OffshoreWind #Solar #EnergySecurity #ClimateAction #Leadership #TaraSingh #RenewablesIndustry #SustainableGrowth
