Eddie O'Connor leaves Mainstream's board, Aker Horizons Chief Executive Officer steps in
- Eddie O'Connor, creator and previous CEO of Ireland-based Mainstream Renewable Power Ltd, has actually resigned as chairman of the board of the renewables business.

O'Connor's resignation works promptly, Mainstream stated on Wednesday.
The chairman seat will certainly be loaded by Kristian Rokke, the CEO of Norway's Aker Horizons ASA (FRA:7 QF), which recently settled the purchase of a 75% stake in Mainstream.
" He started his journey to aid decarbonise the globe by constructing Ireland's first wind farm in 1992 as well as over the intervening 30 years he has actually been a leading figure in the renewable resource market internationally," Rokke said of his precursor. "Eddie has played a pivotal role in helping to develop growing renewable resource industries in a variety of markets consisting of Ireland, the UK, Chile and South Africa."
Eddie O'Connor founded the Dublin-based Mainstream in 2008, transforming it into an international wind and solar energy designer. He served as Chief Executive Officer until 2017, and also as executive chairman of the board of directors afterwards.
After resigning as chairman, O'Connor will be leaving the board, the business said.
