EMR Analyst - Warwick, United Kingdom - National Grid
Description
About the role
Great Britain's electricity system is undergoing an ambitious, exciting and vital transformation. Together with industry, we are creating a cleaner, greener system, one that protects the planet and serves generations to come.
The philosophy of the EMR team is to provide team members with the opportunity to develop a wide range of skill sets across all aspects of our business. As an EMR Analyst, you'll be part of a team running the end to end process – from pre application, to prequalification and assessment, and then ultimately running the auction and on to managing Agreements for the Capacity Market - and you will manage key commercial relationships with participants and stakeholders throughout.
The ESO is an exciting place to work – we have ambitious goals to meet and are transforming the way we work using technology and innovation to do things differently. Our business plan sets out what we'll do to meet the challenges of the future and deliver cleaner and affordable energy.
This role can be based from our Warwick office, and we continue to offer hybrid working from office and home. We are open to full time and part time applicants, as well as flexible working arrangements.
About us
Our mission is to facilitate the decarbonisation of Great Britain's energy network and ensure the delivery of reliable, affordable, and green electricity for consumers. We work with stakeholders across the whole energy industry to plan for future network needs, using insight to make sure we can balance the system today and find opportunities to transform the way it operates tomorrow.
Becoming the National Energy System Operator
In Summer of 2024, the ESO will transition to becoming the National Energy System Operator, or NESO for short. Previously denoted as the Future System Operator (or FSO), the new National Energy System Operator will be the independent body responsible for planning Great Britain's electricity and gas networks and operating the electricity system.
The ESO, including all of its existing roles, will be at the heart of the new National Energy System Operator. As NESO, we will build on our existing roles, capabilities, and ways of working significantly to create an organisation the energy system and its users' need. Our new capabilities will enable us to look across vectors, including electricity, natural gas and hydrogen, and crucially consider the trade-offs between them.
The organisation will be set up as a public corporation with its own Board of independent directors, with complete operational independence from government, the regulator and any and all commercial interest. As the ESO are today, NESO will be licenced and regulated by Ofgem through price control agreements and obligated to identify optimal solutions to system operations and planning in the most sustainable, affordable and secure way for all.
The time to deliver is now. As part of our team, you won't just be touching the lives of almost everyone in Great Britain – you'll be shaping the way we use and consume energy for generations to come.
