Job description:

Would you like to help deliver critical policies for addressing climate change? In 2019, the UK became the first major economy in the world to legislate to have "net zero" carbon emissions by 2050, meaning we will no longer be a net emitter of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change.
Carbon Capture Usage and Storage (CCUS) is a part of this ambition. As a result, this is an exciting time to join the CCUS team as we look to deliver the commitments set out in the Prime Minister's 10 Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution and the government's Net Zero Strategy.
We will shortly enter a period of complex multidimensional negotiations that are likely to have far reaching impacts on the success of CCUS across the UK and have several roles available to join across our growing negotiation teams.

Person specification:

You'll be a major part of the negotiating team for the economic licence for CO2 Transport and Storage (T&S) networks. Our proposed business model for CO2 T&S, the TRI (T&S Regulatory Investment) Model, is based on an economic regulation funding model. This reflects the monopolistic characteristics of T&S networks, similar to other regulated utilities, and builds on the UK's strong track record of independent economic regulation that has delivered significant benefits in the utilities sectors.
The objectives for the design of the TRI model are:
attracting stable investment in the T&S network by providing investors with a clear long-term revenue model;

- enabling low cost decarbonisation in multiple sectors, and;
- providing sufficient flexibility for future market expansion.

Our approach to design of the TRI model is informed by the Principles of Economic Regulation which set a framework for delivering clarity about the role of government and regulators.

At the core of these principles is the importance of stable, predictable and independent regulatory frameworks to provide vital consumer protections and to facilitate efficient investment and sustainable growth.

Skills and Experience
Responsibilities are likely to include (but not limited to)- Establishing the appropriate cost of capital (and hence the allowed return to the T&S companies)

Developing the Revenue Support Agreement, the mechanism to mitigate against revenue risk for the CO2 transport and storage operator
Establishing certain terms of the Regulated Asset Value e.g., determining appropriate capex/opex qualifying costs
Designing and negotiating appropriate incentives
Financial modelling support associated with the design of the economic licence
Developing approach to establishing and then agreeing the asset transfer value for repurposed oil and gas assets for use in CO2 transport and storage networks
