Andrew Dickson has been a renewable energy project developer since 2004, initially with Wind Prospect and currently with CWP Global.
He has developed wind farms (including the Snowtown Wind Farm in South Australia), solar thermal (including Solar Dawn in Queensland, which was successful in the Commonwealth’s Solar Flagships program in 2011), solar PV, microgrids, hydrogen and ammonia projects.
He is currently developing “Power to X” (large scale hydrogen and ammonia) projects for CWP Global, with projects in Western Australia, Africa and South America, including the Asian Renewable Energy Hub in the Pilbara.
Andrew is passionate about the potential for green hydrogen and ammonia energy to dramatically increase renewable energy adoption and to decarbonise hard to abate sectors. He Chairs the Ammonia Energy Association’s Australia Committee and is also a member of the AEA’s global Strategy Committee.
He led CWP Renewables’ Community Investment Scheme at the Sapphire Wind Farm, which was the first such investment scheme for the general public into a utility scale renewable energy project in Australia.
Andrew has a Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) degree from the University of New South Wales and a Master of Science and Technology Commercialisation degree from the University of Adelaide.
