BP has reorganised the management of its offshore wind business after a series of new hires from industry rivals Orsted, Iberdrola and RWE since the start of the year.
The appointments, amid an increasingly competitive war for talent in the renewable energy sector, represent a coup for the UK-listed company, which has some of the oil and gas industry’s most ambitious targets for the rollout of green power.
Matthias Bausenwein arrived at BP in August to head the offshore wind division after nine years at Orsted. He has been joined by Alfonso Montero Lopez, who will serve as chief technical officer for the unit after 12 years at Spain’s Iberdrola.
