Luke Lewandowski

Luke brings nearly two decades of experience in renewable energy, spanning equipment and solutions sales, forecasting and analysing markets, developing a global research portfolio and managing a research practice.

Luke joined Wood Mackenzie via the acquisition of MAKE in 2017. Having spent nearly 10 years at MAKE, he helped develop the company's brand and service and establish its presence in the Americas. Earlier in his career, he was an industry analyst for LM Wind Power, a GE Renewable Energy business.

Since joining Wood Mackenzie, Luke has played an integral role in the integration and development of our Power & Renewables Practice. He transitioned from managing our global wind research to lead research across power, wind, solar, energy storage and the grid edge in the America region. He went on to lead our Global Renewables Research team for several years – spanning wind, solar and energy storage – before launching a new Integrated Research team comprised of subject matter experts across power renewables. Along the way, Luke has become a recognised voice in the industry, regularly quoted in trade and business media on global renewables trends.
 
Luke is currently global head of operations for Wood Mackenzie's Power & Renewables group and serves as global sustainability lead for our Thrive programme. This Thrive role connects the company's brand purpose with efforts to decrease our corporate emissions footprint. He also leads a 5-year initiative centred around hands-on volunteer work that improves energy access and energy security for at-risk communities.
