Christie will continue in her current alongside country manager position, which she takes up on 1 April.

Helene Biström, head of business area wind at Vattenfall, said: “We are convinced that Lisa will be an excellent ambassador for our UK businesses and a valuable additional resource for our UK teams. She will represent all our employees in the UK as well as connecting people across our businesses and geographies.”

Lisa Christie, country manager for Vattenfall in the UK, said: “Vattenfall is growing in the UK market and it’s a privilege to represent the company and its people here. This is a critical period for decarbonisation and energy security in the UK, and Vattenfall intends to be a key partner on the journey to becoming a low-carbon economy.

“I’m looking forward to getting out and about, meeting as many colleagues as I can and supporting our businesses as we lead the energy transition.”
