Energy Network Charging Analyst

About us

As the Electricity System Operator (ESO) for Great Britain we are in a privileged position. We sit at the heart of the energy system, using our outstanding engineering and commercial expertise to balance electricity supply and demand second by second. Ultimately, we keep the lights on and the electricity flowing directly to where it's needed.

We also play an instrumental part in transforming the energy system so that it can meet the government's net zero carbon emissions target by 2050. We are constantly thinking about the future of energy and constantly working to operate a greener and cleaner system.

The Offshore Coordination Team is at the centre of this exciting journey focusing on the offshore energy (primarily wind) and interconnection; transmission network & connections.

As an Energy Network Charging Analyst, you will play a key role in scoping and driving forward the significant industry change that is required to enable Great Britain's net zero carbon energy future, doing so by building key internal and external relationships with stakeholders and utilising industry knowledge to explore barriers and enablers to allow development and delivery of important industry changes in relation to network charging and offshore coordination.

An important part of this Energy Network Charging Analyst role is to facilitate both the connection of 40GWs of offshore wind by 2030 and the design and delivery of the enduring offshore regime.
