Gerard Wynn, a 10-year veteran of energy and economics reporting at Thomson Reuters, has joined the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) as a U.K.-based energy finance consultant.
Wynn will focus on analyzing key decisions by electric utilities in Europe and on the economics of several proposed and existing coal-fired power plants.
“Financial markets and investment decisions made in Europe resound around the globe, as do choices European utilities can make to accelerate the energy transition away from fossil fuels,” said Sandy Buchanan, IEEFA’s executive director. “We know IEEFA’s work in this area will benefit greatly from Gerard’s extensive knowledge about energy economics and top-notch investigative skills.”
Wynn has authored numerous research papers on the energy industry, including on solar power development in Great Britain and coal-fired generation in China and India. He publishes the Energy and Carbon blog. Wynn has a PhD in environmental economics from the University of Aberdeen, a master’s in agricultural economics from Imperial College at Wye, and a bachelor’s from the University of Cambridge.
