BasePower announces that it has expanded its senior management team, with the appointment of Steven Jeffers into the new role of Director of Business Development.

Steven has successfully delivered multi-technology energy solutions for the transition to net zero over the last 20 years, including positions as Head of Sales at Siemens, and Strategic Accounts Program Manager at E.On UK. Most recently he was Business Development Director for Infrastructure at Clean Energy Capital, a real estate renewables developer.

Originally a Chartered Accountant (CIMA) with a Hons degree in Accounting and Finance, he was a former Strategic Board member at the Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE) and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (previously AGMA).

The appointment comes as BasePower continues to expand the provision of green electricity at industrial sites across the UK, with 27 carbon reducing projects and over 55MW of Solar PV installed or in development. Steven will use his track record of strategic business growth to make further inroads into the logistics sector and target markets with energy constraints such as Data Centres and other industrial sectors.

George Fowkes, Chief Operating Officer and Co-founder of BasePower said:
”We are delighted to welcome someone of Steven’s calibre onto the BasePower management team. He is well respected in the energy industry with a strong track record of securing ESG projects in UK manufacturing. With his skills and experience he will enable us to quickly ramp up our expansion plans.”

Steven Jeffers said:
“I’ve known George and the BasePower team for several years and have been really impressed at how the business is successfully helping developers and asset owners to solve power capacity constraints with its consultative approach and innovative energy solutions. I am excited to join the team to continue the development of our client relationships and take the company to the next level.”
