We are seeking an Energy Analyst with expertise in distributed generation. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in techno-commercial simulations using open-source modelling tools such as PyPSA, along with the ability to derive strategic insights that inform both project development and policy decisions.

Responsibilities include:

• Develop and apply technical and economic models for distributed energy systems, including solar PV, battery storage, and hybrid configurations.
• Analyze relevant policies, regulatory frameworks, and incentive structures for distributed energy and renewable energy adoption.
• Translate modelling outcomes into clear, actionable recommendations for policymakers, investors, and practitioners.
• Prepare high-quality reports, policy briefs, and stakeholder presentations.
• Collaborate with internal and external teams on research, strategy, and project implementation related to distributed energy systems.
• Engage with stakeholders from government, industry, and civil society to share insights and support awareness-building.
• Mentor early-career professionals in energy modelling, analysis, and policy research.

Qualifications

Candidates should have a minimum of 3 years of experience in energy systems modelling, distributed energy analysis, or energy policy research. Solid proficiency in Python is required. A solid understanding of renewable energy systems, distributed generation technologies, and energy policy frameworks is essential. Excellent analytical, communication, and writing skills are key to success in this role.
