Women are playing a more pivotal role in the power and utilities sector than ever, a shift that comes at what some call an opportune time as the industry evolves to meet the challenges of increasing electrification and climate change.
“We are going through a massive, massive change and having different voices in the room to solve those problems is imperative,” Exelon Corp. Executive Vice President and CFO Jeanne Jones said in an interview. “If we don’t have the best, the brightest, the most diverse perspectives solving those problems, we’re not going to get there in the most efficient way.”
While women are taking on more leadership roles in the long male-dominated power and utilities sector, the industry still has a long way to go to reach parity, according to an S&P Global Commodity Insights analysis of publicly traded companies in the US, Canada and Europe.
