Expressing her gratitude for the appointment, Lucy stated, "I am extremely honoured to be elected to the board of WindEurope along with some very esteemed industry colleagues. In my 35 years in the Wind Industry, I have seen huge advances, and indeed at DNV, we forecast wind power will be Europe's primary renewable energy source by 2050, contributing to 43% of total electricity generation. 

“However, the need is now urgent to work with governments and stakeholders to deliver the scaling which is needed to achieve one of WindEurope’s core principles, that Europe must achieve climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest. I am delighted to be given this opportunity to work with fellow board members to contribute to this ambition. "
