We are a professional initiative, based at the Energy Institute, that seeks to address the continued underrepresentation of women at the top of the UK energy industry and in the leadership pipeline. Our goal is for women to be in at least 40% of middle management and leadership roles in the UK energy sector by 2030.
We aim to achieve our goal in three ways:
SUPPORT – practical support for companies committed to improving their gender diversity and inclusion (for example through our D&I forum and sharing good practice) and for women to advance their careers (for example through our mentoring programme, POWERful Connections, and career resources);
CHALLENGE – reporting on progress and challenging organisations on their commitments (for example through publishing annual board statistics, research and thought leadership pieces, and through the work of the Energy Leaders’ Coalition)
CONNECT – running events and providing platforms for women to network and for companies, regulators, government and experts to collaborate.
This survey will enable the POWERful Women team to define how and where women in the energy sector need support in 2025, as well as the types of events and campaigns the initiative should offer as we enter a new year. Please complete the survey and be as thorough as possible to be in with a chance of winning a prize!
