Senior Consultant

Description:

GB’s electricity and gas networks face a tremendous challenge to deliver the network investments required to enable decarbonisation of heat, and connect large quantities of renewable energy production capacity at record pace. Against this background, the National Energy System Operator (NESO) - a new entity in the energy sector - is tasked with co-optimising gas and electricity network infrastructure planning and delivery. Our energy networks are pivotal to delivering the energy transition at the scale and pace required to realise Net Zero 2050, and to fulfil their role, they will need to overcome unprecedented techno-economic challenges under high policy and regulatory uncertainty.

Energy Strategy Advisory combines deep expertise of renewable energy technologies, gas and electricity networks, energy markets, and business models to advise stakeholders in the energy transition. Our clients span the full energy value chain and include manufacturers, utilities, investors, regulators and governments. Our services involve techno-economic assessment, research and innovation, strategy and management consulting, as well as policy and regulatory advice. Our overall objective is to help the energy sector to develop viable and economic solutions to support the transition to a smart, flexible energy system as part of the route to Net Zero.

ESA comprises the Power Grids & Markets team, with a primary focus on network planning and digitalisation of electricity networks, the Low Carbon Fuels team, with a primary focus of supporting decarbonisation of industrial users, and the Energy Systems Modelling and Green Energy Procurement teams. This role will be based in the Power Grids & Markets team, with opportunities to work across a number of exciting projects which combine the specialisms of ESA.
