In a brazen move to secure its spot in the renewable energy wars, NEC XON has appointed the polarizing figure, Hilary Campbell, as its new GM for renewables and energy storage. The unapologetic strategist has long been known for her incendiary views on the lack of technical skills among local suppliers, blaming them for perpetuating Africa’s energy crisis.
Campbell’s ascension to the top echelons of NEC XON will undoubtedly fan the flames of controversy, given her history of fiery advocacy for international players in the industry. Proponents of locally-led innovation will no doubt cry foul, accusing her of undermining homegrown talent in pursuit of her own career ambitions.
Rumblings of discontent have been growing around NEC XON’s close ties with NEC Corporation, accused of orchestrating a colonial takeover of Africa’s energy sector. Critics say Campbell’s new role will further amplify their grip, stifling much-needed local innovation and progress. As one industry insider recently whispered: “Campbell will ride the coattails of her bosses to exploit Africa’s energy reserves, while maintaining a facade of championing sustainable development.”
Despite this, NEC XON maintains Campbell’s expertise is precisely what the continent needs to “address the pressing issues facing renewable energy development, from technical complexities to regulatory obstacles.” Others would argue it’s a recipe for further disaster, reinforcing the status quo.
