ion Ventures is pleased to announce that Co-founder and Director, Hassen Bali, has been elected as Chair to the Management and Strategy Board of the Global Solar Council (GSC) Finance Task Force for the 2026–2027 period.
The Global Solar Council represents the international solar and storage industry, bringing together leading organisations from across the sector to help accelerate the global energy transition and support the growth of resilient, secure and sustainable energy systems.
Hassen’s appointment reflects ion Ventures’ continued involvement in industry dialogue across renewable energy, energy storage and grid flexibility, particularly in markets undergoing rapid energy transition and infrastructure development. As energy systems evolve, solar and storage are increasingly being recognised not only as key enablers of decarbonisation, but also as critical to strengthening energy security, system resilience and long-term affordability.
Commenting on the appointment, Hassen Bali said: “Solar and storage are now playing a much broader role in the energy system than simply supporting decarbonisation targets. Across many markets, they are becoming increasingly important for improving energy resilience, supporting system stability and helping countries build more secure and flexible power infrastructure for the long term. I’m honoured to join the Management and Strategy Board at the Global Solar Council and look forward to working alongside industry peers to support the continued growth of solar and storage globally.”
Through its engagement with the GSC, ion Ventures aims to contribute practical insight from project development, financing and delivery across the UK, Europe and Asia, helping support the deployment of bankable clean energy infrastructure worldwide.
