It was announced last week that Lightsource Renewable Energy has appointed Barry Wadding as Business Development Manager for the Republic of Ireland.
 
Barry joins Lightsource with over 10 years’ experience working within Project Management in the Renewable Energy sector. His most recent appointment was as a Commercial Specialist with Bord na Móna. Prior to this, he worked with Scottish Power, where he was involved in developing over 350MW of renewable energy projects in Scotland, most notably the 290MW Kilgallioch wind farm.  Barry holds a BSc (Hons) in Real Estate (Valuation and Management) from the University of West England.
 
As Business Development Manager, Barry will be responsible for managing the development of Lightsource’s business in the Republic of Ireland.
