This time on the Wind Power Podcast, we focus on women in the wind power industry, speaking with three senior figures about progress on gender inclusion and the challenges that remain in the sector.

Meanwhile, Juliette Sanders, chief communications officer at Energy UK – also known by her ‘windfluencer’ alter ego Killah Jules – discusses her career into wind and the day to day challenges women can face.

Finally, Jane Cooper reflects on how participation has changed over time and what more can be done to attract and support women in the sector.

In a special episode of the Wind Power podcast ahead of next week's WindEurope conference in Madrid, RWE offshore chief Sven Utermöhlen discusses the contribution that wind energy can make to Europe’s future energy security.

During this episode, Utermöhlen talked about why avoiding boom and bust cycles – and settling on the correct auction design – is even more important than the overall pace of the energy transition.

Also on the agenda was how best to use Europe's wind power manufacturing base and whether there is a part to play for Chinese manfacturers in European wind projects.
