Renewable energy is a priority sector for UK Export Finance (UKEF), which has recruited four new employees who are specialists in renewable energy projects. Three work in underwriting and one in its Environment and Social Management team. One of the four branches in the Civil, Infrastructure and Energy (CIE) division is now dedicated to low carbon and renewable energy. Before joining UKEF the Head of CIE, one of the three Senior Civil Servants within UKEF’s Business Group, has led an award-winning renewable financing team at a major UK bank, and been Head of Finance for a low carbon energy consortium.
