Renewable energy consultancy Natural Power has appointed Ciaran Farrell as its new managing director, the company said on Tuesday, as it looks to support continued growth in line with global clean energy targets.
Farrell succeeds Rob Brown, who led the company for the past three years and is stepping down to pursue other opportunities.
Previously director of consulting for Europe and country director in Ireland, Farrell has over 25 years of experience in energy, engineering, and environmental roles across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
“I’m really proud to be stepping into the role of managing director at Natural Power,” Farrell said. “From accelerating project delivery to integrating new technologies, I’m excited to lead the business into this next chapter of growth, driving impact across every corner of the energy transition.”
Farrell holds degrees in environmental science and environmental engineering and is a chartered environmentalist with the Institution of Environmental Sciences.
Natural Power chairman Nick Emery said the appointment supports the firm’s strategy to diversify across sectors and geographies. “He brings a deep understanding of our strategy for growth through sector and international diversification, along with the leadership to drive continued recruitment and investment in support of global renewable energy targets,” Emery said.
Natural Power, which provides consultancy and technical services for renewable energy projects worldwide, said the leadership transition aligns with its commitment to innovation and expanded client support as demand for clean energy expertise grows.
