Seven rising stars in Scotland's green energy sector were recognised for their outstanding contributions at the Young Professional Green Energy Awards 2025.

The annual event, organised by Scottish Renewables, highlights the pioneering individuals poised to reshape the nation's clean power future.

Held at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow, the awards ceremony brought together 300 renewable energy professionals to celebrate the achievements of the next generation. This year's winners were selected from a strong shortlist of 32 nominees.

Among those honoured was Obey Suleyman, whose innovative research on wind turbine components is significantly advancing the sustainability of Scotland's renewables sector. Ellen Kane of ScottishPower Renewables was also recognised for her work delivering STEM workshops in local schools and her active engagement with local communities.

A standout achiever was Megan Martin from Tony Gee and Partners LLP, who received two awards for her exceptional work supporting the design of foundations for wind turbines and associated wind farm structures.
