Bidwells has appointed Andy Fewings as a new group partner in its energy and renewables division to drive the company’s expansion across England and Wales.
Fewings (pictured) joins from Statkraft, the Norwegian state-owned renewable energy generator, where he held the role of principal land manager.
Fewings said: “The UK has a target to fully decarbonise the electricity system by 2035 and reach net zero by 2050. The scale of this ambition brings exciting opportunities in energy and renewables. The expertise at Bidwells in this space is inspirational. Ros Clifford is leading the way and has built an outrageously experienced team, which will be needed as we secure opportunities in order to tackle our challenging climate targets. I am delighted to be joining at this critical time.”
Bidwells has also recruited Lesley Kelly, Christina Lamond and Kirsty Gordon to its energy and renewables team from Scottish Power Renewables this autumn.
Rosalind Clifford, group partner, head of energy and renewables, at Bidwells said: “We’re thrilled to expand our renewable energy team with four highly skilled and experienced property professionals from the renewable energy generation sector. Our work across onshore wind, hydro, solar energy and storage is growing fast and these areas of expertise are increasingly not seen in isolation but as a fundamental part of delivering a climate positive future and ensuring investors’ portfolios of land and property deliver on their sustainability goals.”
