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.
