WYG appoints associate director to energy team

Consultancy WYG has appointed Simon Sjenitzer as an associate director in its energy and climate change division.

Sjenitzer was previously a director at energy consultancy Westlakes Energy, as well as chairman of social enterprise the Low Luckens Organic Resource Centre.

Between 2007 and 2010 he was strategy director at Cumbria Vision, the sub-regional delivery body of the former North West Development Agency in the county.

According to WYG, Sjenitzer will help to establish the strategic direction of energy and climate change business within the energy team.

Sjenitzer said: “There are significant opportunities that we are already looking at including district heat networks, offshore wind and tidal, energy demand reduction and associated network infrastructure. WYG’s energy team will also be looking at new business opportunities coming from the petrochemical and coal industries.”
