We’re delighted that Emma will be part of the offshore panel, sharing insights from her work on the Offshore Renewable Energy Action Plan ( ).

Emma said: "Connecting with an incredible network of women who uplift one another and celebrate each other’s successes has empowered me to commit to speaking at an upcoming industry event - an opportunity I wouldn’t have imagined embracing a year ago!"

Today on Renewableni is celebrating as we award much-deserved certificates for our Women in Renewables Mentoring qualification 🌱

This fully-funded OCN Level 2 course, delivered with Belfast Met, supports women as they build the skills and confidence to become effective mentors- helping grow female representation in a traditionally male-dominated sector.

The programme also explores imposter syndrome, career development and visibility, while its 'Mentoring in Practice' strand means women early in their careers or transitioning into renewables receive, meaningful, ongoing support.

We’re proud to be part of a programme that’s building confidence, connections and the next generation of renewable role models. 👩‍💼

Reducing environmental impact is in our very nature. 🌱🐝

There’s a myth that wind farms harm wildlife and natural habitats. But when they’re managed responsibly, the opposite is true.

Through the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan, wind farms across NI are creating safe, pollinator-friendly spaces that support bees, butterflies, and biodiversity.

Wind farms can bee part of the change- helping nature recover while helping Northern Ireland reach its clean energy goals. 🍃

Let’s clear the air on another common myth. 💨

“Community Benefit Funds are just bribery.” Not true, and the facts prove it.

In Northern Ireland, planners do not consider community benefit funds as a material consideration when examining planning applications for renewable energy projects.

However, developers often provide packages voluntarily, and across Northern Ireland, renewable energy projects contribute £2.6 million every year to local groups, services and initiatives through transparent, independently managed Community Benefit Funds (KMPG 2024 Impact Report).

These funds support real people and real needs- from community halls to sports clubs, mental health projects, education programmes and more.

Wind turbines don’t just power our homes; they are empowering our communities.

Creating stronger communities and cleaner energy.♻️💪
