POWERful Women Annual Data Reaction: Why are Energy Companies Failing Women?

This week, Wolfe Power Club attended POWERful Women’s 2025 State of the Nation Annual Report, highlighting the importance of female representation in energy leadership roles. Despite an increase in middle management, overall results remain disappointing among the UK’s top 100 energy employers, underscoring the urgency of a cultural shift in the industry to reach the goal of 40% gender balance by 2030. Our host Alex interviewed various speakers across the sector who share their insights on how women in leadership positions can contribute to the success of energy companies, promoting inclusive policies and supporting a better work environment for all. The report serves as a roadmap and advisory for a much-needed cultural shift for a sustainable energy transition.Download the POWERful Women's Annual State of the Nation reportPOWERful Women websiteSpecial thanks to our featured guests for contributing to this episode:Monica Collings OBE (Chair of POWERful Women)Cordi O’Hara OBE (President of National Grid Electricity Distribution)Alison Flower (Senior Energy Advisor, International Energy Unit - Foreign and Commonwealth Office)Olga Muscat (Bain & Company Senior Partner)Fran Woodward (Good Energy Group PLC’s Chief Operating Officer)Elliott Rae MBE (Founder of Parenting Out Loud) Elizabeth Baxter (Non Executive Director at POWERful Women & Director of Finance at Vårgrønn)Season Two is in Partnership with The SpectatorTickets for the upcoming The Spectator Energy Summit, on Monday 30th November 2026, are available on sale.
