Daniel O’Toole, former Regional Operations Manager at Ørsted, has departed the renewables giant to join Neptune Infrastructure Associates (NIA) as Associate Director.
Dan leaves Ørsted this September, following eight years at the renewable energy major and more than a decade in the offshore wind industry. Throughout these years, he has played a crucial role in the optimisation and operational management of over 6 GW of offshore wind assets in the UK. Notable examples include Ørsted’s Hornsea 1 & 2 offshore windfarms – the first projects globally to exceed the 1GW barrier, collectively powering more than 2.5 million homes.
Dan’s extensive expertise spans operational, commercial, and strategic roles across the value chain in offshore wind. Most recently, he led the strategic transformation of the world's largest operational portfolio of offshore wind generation and transmission assets out of Ørsted’s East Coast Hub.
Hamish Yates, Founder & CEO of NIA, welcomed Dan to the company, stating: “We are beyond excited to have Dan join NIA at such a pivotal time.

NIA’s passion for innovation and excellence in the renewable energy sector is something that really resonates with me. I’m looking forward to working closely with our clients to push our ambitious goals forward and make a real impact.”
