Energy is one of the most important issues in the country right now, and you will receive an incredible insight into the work that goes in to ensuring sufficient grid capacity to enable the Net Zero transition across London, the East and South East of England, at in a workplace voted one of the UK's best big companies to work for.

We are widely viewed as a global leader in this space and have ambitious plans to increase up our use of flexibility and the impact it delivers on the Net Zero transition.

We have committed to saving more than £400m in this way over the next five years.
