Now in its third year, the New Voices Campaign - sponsored by Ørsted - continues to champion emerging and underrepresented voices, supporting participants to build the confidence, skills and networks needed to progress into leadership roles in renewable energy.
Renewable energy is an industry built on doing the right thing. Yet, too many people still don’t see themselves represented on panels, in boardrooms or in decision-making roles across the industry.
At Scottish Renewables, we know that championing diversity, inclusivity and openness isn't just the right choice - it’s essential. In order to overcome the complex challenges ahead, the industry needs the fresh ideas, bold innovation and dynamic leadership of a truly inclusive workforce.
It is this understanding that led us to design the New Voices Campaign. Open to those who feel underrepresented and struggle to make their voice heard, the programme supports ten participants through a year-long series of workshops focused on career development, confidence and leadership skills.

The workshops, held throughout 2026 will provide training on:
- Confidence building
- Public speaking
- Media and public relations
- Expert Q&A sessions.
Nominate yourself, or someone you know, for the opportunity to grow professionally, expand your networks and become an ambassador for our sector.
Deadline for nominations is Friday, February 27.
