EEA expands carbon and clean energy team.

EEA Fund Management Limited, a firm that specialises in carbon and clean energy investments, is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul Bowden as Principal Engineer to its carbon and clean energy team.

Paul will join a team of seven in EEA’s London office. His role will be to review and advise on investment opportunities and transactions involving renewable energy assets and, for business development of EEA's asset financing business.

Paul joins EEA from Mott MacDonald where he was Principal Engineer in the Energy Division and was responsible for developing business globally, particularly in the UK, South America and Russia. He has been responsible for the project management and technical support for numerous renewable energy schemes including several years’ secondment to a 440MW pump storage scheme in Scotland, supervising the project’s refurbishment and overseeing technical aspects.

Simon Shaw, Chairman at EEA said:

“Paul has worked with EEA in the past, providing us with project management and technical support for a Trading Emissions PLC investment in a large hydropower project. He brings significant experience and will be a tremendous asset to our global team of Investment Advisers who are involved in the assessment and structuring of investment opportunities in a broad range of clean energy projects and technologies, around the world.

“EEA continue to believe that the most advantageous market position going forward is in ownership of the assets that will generate emission reductions. As our clients increasingly move in this direction, the appropriate in house engineering expertise will only become more valuable.”

Paul is a Chartered Mechanical Engineer, a member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and Council Member of the British Hydro Power Association.
