ETZ Ltd Appoints Isla Robb As Offshore Renewables Director
ETZ Ltd has appointed Isla Robb, an industry leader described as an "inspiring force for change", as its offshore renewables director.
This appointment comes as ETZ Ltd seeks to attract significant investment in offshore wind projects to the Energy Transition Zone and the wider region.
Isla Robb brings a wealth of experience to the role, having held senior positions in both the public and private sectors. As managing director of Opergy Scotland, she spearheaded numerous initiatives to support large-scale clients, SMEs, and public sector organisations in navigating the energy transition.
Her work in connecting local suppliers with developers and promoting diversity within the offshore wind industry was recognised at the Scottish Green Energy Awards 2024, where she was awarded the prestigious Judges' Award.
This appointment further strengthens ETZ Ltd's commitment to driving sustainable economic growth and supporting the transition to a net-zero future in Scotland.
Ms Robb said: "It is a huge privilege to be appointed director of offshore renewables at ETZ Ltd, an organisation that is at the vanguard of energy transition and efforts to secure a vibrant and prosperous future for Aberdeen and the North-east of Scotland. This region has all the ingredients for success, a pipeline of transformational projects on our doorstep alongside a world-class supply chain that can deliver them, and I'm relishing the opportunity draw upon my experience to ensure we unlock the investment required to maximise the vast potential afforded by offshore wind."
Maggie McGinlay, chief executive officer at ETZ Ltd, said: "We are delighted to have Isla join the team at ETZ Ltd. She brings a wealth of experience to the role and has a proven track record of working collaboratively, across industry and government, in support of energy transition. Her deep-rooted knowledge of the challenges and opportunities faced by the offshore wind sector, particularly the supply chain, will prove invaluable as we seek to accelerate the commercialisation of this industry across the North-east of Scotland."
