A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our popular all-female Women in Renewables event in March 2025 which returned for the third consecutive year.

Embracing this year’s theme of ‘STEM Role Models’, attendees discussed how we can promote women in the sector and encourage more to consider a future in renewables.

Chair of RenewableNI Tamasin Fraser led a panel session with industry leaders,

• Vicky Boden, Senior Community Investment Manager for Ireland, SSE Renewables
• Eimear Watson, Head of Networks, SONI
• Emma Kelly, Director (Planning), Turley
• Lisa O’Neill, Renewables Development Manager, NIE Networks.

Our inspiring panel shared insights from their own career journeys and advice for those who want to grow in the sector.

With fascinating round-table discussions and a lively networking session completing the action-packed event at Ten Square, Belfast, it was another great success for Women in Renewables.

Thank you to our Women in Renewables partners, SSE Renewables and SONI, for their support.

RenewableNI is committed to increasing the number of women in the renewable sector and advancing those already in the industry through a new mentoring programme.

The pilot with Belfast Met has begun and we wish our first cohort all the best.
