Allan is currently working for the City of Sydney, Australia on a number of energy and climate change projects and advising on the delivery of the climate change targets in Sustainable Sydney 2030, in particular on green transformers or trigeneration and other green infrastructure.

Until October 2008 Allan was Chief Executive Officer of the London Climate Change Agency Ltd (LCCA), a municipal company that developed and implemented projects in the sectors that impact on climate change, especially in the energy, water, waste and transport sectors. In addition to being Chief Executive Officer of the LCCA, Allan was also the LCCA’s Executive Director of the London ESCO Ltd and the LCCA’s Director of the Better Buildings Partnership Ltd.

During his time in London Allan set up and ran the LCCA, developed the energy and climate change elements of the London Plan, Mayor’s Climate Action Plan and the new Climate Change Statutory Duty as well as developing and implementing decentralised energy and renewable energy projects in London. One of the key projects that Allan implemented was the procurement and establishment of the London ESCO, a public/private joint venture Energy Services Company between the LCCA Ltd and EDF Energy plc, which designs, finances, builds and operates decentralised energy systems for both new and existing development.

Prior to his appointment by the Mayor of London in 2004 Allan was Woking Borough Council’s Director of Thameswey Ltd., developing and implementing projects through its public/private joint venture Energy Services Company – Thameswey Energy Ltd.

During his time at Woking, Allan reduced CO2 emissions by 77.5% from 1990 levels to 2004, improved the energy efficiency of the existing housing stock within its area by 30% from 1996 to 2004 and undertook groundbreaking work on energy and water efficiency, private wire CHP cogeneration and trigeneration decentralised energy systems, environmentally friendly waste recycling/recovery and energy from waste technologies, alternative fuels for transport, renewable energy and fuel cells. Under Allan, Woking installed 81 private wire decentralised energy systems, nearly 10% of the UK’s total installed photovoltaics and the first fuel cell CHP in the UK.

Prior to Woking Allan worked for the Greater London Council (GLC)/Inner London Education Authority (ILEA) for 18 years working on major development and regeneration projects both as an engineer and senior manager.

Allan was appointed a Member of the British Empire in 1999 for services to energy and water efficiency and was instrumental in Woking gaining the Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development 2001 in the development of Local Sustainable Community Energy Systems, the only local authority ever to receive a Queen’s Award for Enterprise.
