Sharon Sage
I’m passionate about accelerating the transition to a cleaner, more resilient energy future. With a background in Business Development within Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), I specialise in forging strategic partnerships, identifying market opportunities, and driving solutions that optimise grid stability and maximize renewable energy integration.
Previously, as Senior Manager of Public Sector at EDF, I oversaw the largest electricity contract in Europe, ensuring operational excellence and customer satisfaction. With 20+ years in the utilities sector, I have deep expertise in energy markets, decarbonization strategies, and public sector engagement. I’m particularly passionate about educating organisations on low-carbon solutions and helping them navigate the energy transition.
“I have been a member of WUN from the day it started, and I have found a lot of value in having the opportunity to attend its meetings. That’s something I want to share with my wider network.”
“ I am absolutely delighted to have take my role to the next level as a Board Member – this is absolute proof that The WUN are here to empower woman and encourage them and give them the opportunity to step up to the next level. I would never have dreamt 4 years ago, I would now be part of the Board and I am delighted.
Sharon is also the proud winner of the 2024 ‘Utilities Businesswoman of the year’. I enjoy mentoring others, sharing insights from my career, and advocating for greater diversity in the energy sector. Outside of work, you’ll often find me spinning on my exercise bike to clear my mind or spending time with my stubborn but lovable French bulldog—always open to new training tips!
What do you love about the industry?
Although sometimes the constant change can be tricky to manage, it keeps me on my toes and there is never a dull moment. I love speaking to customers and helping them on their Net Zero journey and I am very keen to highlight the energy industry as a great career choice for the younger generation
