Mcnamara named new AEC chief

THE Australian Energy Council (AEC) has announced the appointment of Sarah Mcnamara as its new chief executive with outgoing chief Matthew Warren to step down on 2 July 2018.

Ms Mcnamara joined the AEC as Corporate Affairs general manager in January 2016, and previously worked with energy provider AGL.

“Sarah has more than a decade’s experience working with policy and regulatory frameworks across the energy sector,” AEC chairman Jeff Dimery said.

“She has advised the highest levels of Government on energy policy and advocated for the industry at both the peak body level and through her previous role with AGL.

“Her appointment provides important continuity to the role having worked in the AEC Secretariat for the past two years.”
