Business Development Roles in Renewable Energy

Professionals in business development roles in renewable energy are responsible for identifying growth opportunities, forming strategic partnerships, and driving commercial execution.

Why Business Development Roles in Renewables Matter

The pace of innovation and competition in renewables demands proactive, well-connected professionals who can open doors and close deals. Business development specialists help clean energy organisations build credibility, identify trends early, and secure the relationships needed to scale impact and revenue.

Their responsibilities include:

​

Identifying and qualifying new project, product, or market opportunities

​

Building relationships with landowners, utilities, corporates, and government bodies

​
