Women in Renewable Energy

At the Mills Archive Trust, we celebrate women who have opened closed doors, crossed barriers and broken glass ceilings to contribute to the Renewable Energy Sector. First, we highlight a number of outstanding women who have changed the world of renewable energy as we know it, as well as the lives of those around them.

Below the curly divider, we discuss ways to get more women involved in the sector: sources suggest that between 10-30% of renewable energy positions are held by women today. For more data like this, click the Women in the Renewable Energy Sector box.
