XEnergy offers a mentoring programme for women who are at the beginning of their business careers in renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainable development. Mentors are experienced business people, women and men, who spend a certain amount of time in the program guiding and advising less experienced colleagues.

The presentation of our mentoring program took place on 15 June 2023. The competition is published here.

The mentoring programme we offer covers the following areas:

  • Development of renewable energy projects
  • PPA contracts and electricity trading
  • Development of innovative projects in the context of the energy transition
  • Adjustment of companies to the regulatory framework
  • Sustainable finance

How the programme works:

  • Matching mentor and mentee: Each young woman who applies and wins the programme is matched with an appropriate mentor based on her career goals, interests and areas of expertise.
  • Individual meetings: Mentors meet regularly with their mentees once a month to provide advice, support and share their experiences. These meetings provide an opportunity to ask questions, discuss challenges and receive concrete feedback.
  • Workshops and events: XEnergy organises various workshops, panel discussions and events for mentors and mentees to attend for education, networking and exchange of ideas.
  • Supportive network: Through our mentoring programme, young women have the opportunity to connect with other programme participants and build valuable connections and support within the energy transition projects.
