Focusing on the megatrends of decentralization and decarbonization Nic then spent the next three years working with a small team building the strategy for the emerging City Energy Solutions business both in the UK and Internationally. Her focus is now on the further development of the City Energy Solutions business, with specific responsibility for shared learning and co-operation on decentralized energy projects within the E.ON Group.
