2021 FEDARENE General Assembly : Seamus Hoyne re-elected as Secretary-General

The  annual FEDARENE General Assembly took place in Maribor (Slovenia) - and online - on the 14th September 2021. It gave the opportunity to the participants to exchange views on the organisation’s strategy for the upcoming years. FEDARENE members also re-elected Seamus Hoyne as their Secretary General for the next three years.

At the occasion, Seamus Hoyne stated that enabling, supporting and facilitating action at local and regional level will be vital to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.  The next 3 years will need even greater focus and the new Strategic Plan for the organisation will guide the FEDARENE’s activities. He will be supported in his work by Patrick Biard, Head of European and International Affairs at AURA-EE as Deputy Secretary General.

I am thrilled with the re-election of Seamus as Secretary General of FEDARENE. Over the past years, Seamus has strongly contributed to making the network a highly recognized European network supporting the energy transition. I look forward to cooperating with Seamus and serve as FEDARENE Deputy Secretary General.
