TransitionZero: Fiona Howarth appointed Chairwoman of the board

TransitionZero, a not-for-profit group specialised in climate analytics, has appointed Fiona Howarth as its new chairwoman of its board of trustees, the climate tech company announced on 07/05/2026, in London.

Fiona Howarth is the founder and former CEO of Octopus Electric Vehicles, which she ran between 2017 and 2025, and brings expertise in sustainable business, energy markets, and policy.

“Renewable energy is now low cost and viable, but it has got stuck in legacy, archaic planning systems. In fact, there are 3TW of new projects just waiting for the green light, enough to power 63,000 countries the size of the UK. TransitionZero’s products put cutting-edge modelling in the hands of global decision-makers - accelerating affordable, equitable, energy available at a critical time. I’m delighted to be working with the team who are bringing the latest tech to democratise energy", declared Fiona Howarth.
