octoenergy - Octopus Energy Group - Commercial Analyst (Data Centres and Industrials)
Requirements
• 2–5 years in a numerate commercial role - infrastructure or renewables development, project finance, banking, energy trading or origination, strategy or energy consultancy. • Financial modelling from first principles: DCF, IRR, scenarios and sensitivities. You can build a model someone else can follow and eventually develop it as a standard tool for other team members to use. • Advanced knowledge of GB/European power markets, and how network and connection costs land on a project. • Advanced Excel and Python • Able to take a messy, incomplete problem to a clear recommendation • Quantitative degree - economics, engineering, finance, maths, physics - or equivalent experience. • Datacenters, large industrial load or behind-the-meter/private wire projects; BESS revenue stacking; a PPA, tolling or connection agreement taken to signature; Aurora, PLEXOS or equivalent.
Responsibilities
• Own the project model for each opportunity - generation, BESS, flexible load, network cost; capex, opex, revenue stack, IRR, downside cases. Build project-specific models while developing toolings and standard assumptions to support our growing pipeline • Price the offer. Turn a customer's load profile and reliability requirement into a deliverable price and structure - tariff, PPA, tolling, availability-based - and show which one allocates risk sensibly for both sides. • Value the flex. Model storage and flexible load across wholesale, Balancing Mechanism, ancillary services and Capacity Market. Quantify network charges (TNUoS, DUoS, BSUoS), curtailment and connection options. • Develop the business case. Build internal and external presentations to support from indicative customer proposals to project final investment decisions. • Track the portfolio and read the market. Monitor live projects against approved cases - spend, milestones, connection dates - and identify early and quantify regulatory change (connections reform, REMA, network charging). Support term sheets and diligence from indicative to signed.
