Kjaer says: "I will have been at EWEA for more than 11 years – four years as policy director and seven years as CEO – and it will be time for me to move on to something new and, currently, undefined.”

He adds: “This is entirely my own decision and the rather long notice is motivated only by my intention to ensure that the EWEA Board and staff can prepare the transition in an orderly and timely fashion."
