Rona Mitchell

innovation project lead, UK Power Networks

I joined the electricity industry in 2016 after spending a few years designing oil and gas infrastructure. I run a £4.5m portfolio of projects. The work covers a wide range of themes, from increasing the efficiency of renewable generation connections to finding innovative ways of keeping the lights on more cheaply and efficiently. Right now, I'm working on fault prediction, network flexibility and the future of heat.

I have an interest in sustainability and how it can be married with engineering to create positive impact.
