Your future plans

Energy and electricity markets are rapidly changing with the deployment of intermittent renewables and energy storage. This role offers the opportunity to lead and build the analytics team that forecasts the impact of these changes on energy and electricity prices in selected US markets with the goal of reducing uncertainty for hedging and optimization decisions of our US renewables assets. To improve and expand our market view, we are looking for a Head of Market Analytics and Trading Support.

With these inputs, you will refine and update our DAYZER production cost model and quantify the impact of these drivers on wholesale electricity prices. You will perform model runs, check model plausibility, and back-test model results. You will use the model results and sensitivities to improve our trading strategies and work closely together with the desks on implementation. You will be part of our analyst community and will provide and explain your findings directly to the commercial optimisation teams, who base their day-to-day trading and hedging decisions on the model output. The market analysis focus for this position is for power on ERCOT, expanding to PJM, CAISO, and other ISOs. You will need to understand and model specific market design elements such as price formation, capacity auctions, and co-optimization of energy and reserves.

    • Calibration and back-testing are performed and results are of highest quality
  • Understand and evaluate external studies and forecasts
  • Deliver long term market view for strategic projects and general valuations

Your powerful skills

  • University Degree in Engineering, Economics, Finance, Mathematics, Physics or equivalent. An advanced degree with an electricity market focus is a plus.
