The news follows Dave Sowden’s return to the Sustainable Energy Association on an Interim basis at the beginning of 2024. 

Following Dave Sowden’s return to the Sustainable Energy Association on an Interim basis at the beginning of 2024, we are pleased to announce that the Executive Committee has agreed to appoint him on a permanent basis.

The news provides some much-needed certainty for the sustainable energy sector, as we welcome the original founder of the trade association back to the helm.

Dave has a wealth of experience and deep understanding of the industry, and affords the SEA a strong, far-ranging relationship with government officials and stakeholders at the frontline of delivering living and working spaces fit for the future.

SEA President, Lord Ravensdale, and Russell Dean, Residential Product Group Director for Mitsubishi Electric and Vice President of the Sustainable Energy Association, added:

“We’re delighted to see Dave Sowden, the SEA’s original founder, confirmed as permanent CEO following his return last year on an interim basis.

“In a short period, Dave has helped the Executive Committee establish a clearer vision for the SEA, returning it to a position of policy thought leadership. He has overseen growth of the membership across all categories, continued to champion innovators and their ability to supply to funded sectors such as social housing, led a new policy development process on Smart Energy and has strengthened our links with national and devolved Government, and across a range of like-minded stakeholders.

“We look forward to working with Dave, and our diverse membership, to continue delivering policy thought leadership for energy in the built environment, advocacy and stakeholder engagement to provide lower cost, more secure and lower carbon means of heating and powering Britain’s homes and buildings.”
