RWE Clean Energy, the U.S. renewable energy subsidiary of Germany-headquartered RWE Group, has named Andrew Flanagan as CEO.

Flanagan, who served as RWE Clean Energy’s chief development officer, will replace Mark Noyes, who decided to step down from the top management position, according to a Jan. 18 news release.

As CEO of RWE Clean Energy, Flanagan will lead a 1,700-person RWE team in the U.S. that operates a 9-gigawatt portfolio with installed capacity in onshore wind, solar and battery storage.

“He knows the company inside out and has played a key role in setting up RWE Clean Energy,” RWE CEO Markus Krebber said in the release. “Andrew takes up his new role at a time when we are committed to significantly expanding the business in all areas–onshore wind, solar and batteries.

“Following the acquisition of Con Edison’s renewables business, Mark has successfully positioned the new RWE Clean Energy in the U.S. market, laying the foundation for our ambitious growth path,” Krebber added.

RWE Group plans to expand its global installed capacity to more than 65 gigawatts and invest about $60 billion worldwide, including about $22 billion in the U.S., through 2030.
