Job Description:

Power Fundamental Analyst

Location: Houston, Texas
Department: Gas/Power Fundamentals
Reports to: Head of Gas and Power Fundamentals

Role Overview

The Power Fundamental Analyst provides analytical and market research to develop and maintain short-, medium-, and long-term market views across key North American power markets (e.g., ERCOT, PJM, MISO, WECC). The analyst will integrate supply-demand fundamentals, weather, transmission, and fuel market dynamics to generate actionable insights that inform trading strategies, asset dispatch, and portfolio positioning.

Key Responsibilities
  • Build and maintain fundamental models for load, generation, renewables, transmission, and fuel dynamics across major ISOs. Monitor and forecast supply/demand balances, reserve margins, congestion, and price formation drivers.
  • Analyze generation stack evolution (retirements, additions, outages) and transmission constraints impacting nodal and zonal prices. Develop and continuously refine short- and long-term price forecasts (DA, RT, monthly, seasonal, and forward strips).
  • Translate fundamental outlooks into tradable themes and relative value ideas. Quantify sensitivities (e.g., weather, gas prices, renewables output, load growth) on forward curves and spreads.
  • Produce concise market commentaries and scenario analyses ahead of key decisions.
  • Gather, clean, and manage large datasets from public and proprietary sources. Automate recurring reports and dashboards in Python, SQL, or Power BI to improve decision speed.
  • Collaborate with quantitative analysts to bridge fundamental and statistical models. Support calibration of internal valuation models used for structured deals, tolls, and HRCOs.
  • Work closely with spec and asset traders, to align market views and exposures.
Qualifications
  • Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Economics, Data Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, or related quantitative discipline.
  • Experience: 2-6 years of relevant experience in energy markets, trading analytics, or power system operations.
  • Technical Skills:
    • Strong analytical and quantitative modeling skills.
    • Proficiency in Excel, Python, and SQL.
    • Experience with power market datasets (e.g., ISO data portals, EIA, SNL, Genscape, ABB/Velocity Suite, Yes Energy).
    • Understanding of nodal markets, congestion drivers, and fuel-power relationships (spark spreads, heat rates).
    • Familiarity with optimal power flow modeling software such as PROMOD, DAYZER, AURORA, or UPLAN-NPM is an asset.
  • Soft Skills:
  • Excellent communication and synthesis abilities; able to translate complex analysis into actionable insights.
  • Self-starter with strong attention to detail and curiosity about market drivers.
  • Ability to operate in fast-paced trading environment with tight deadlines and evolving priorities.
