United Kingdom Smart DCC Full time

Salary Competitive

Director of Economic Regulation

Manchester, Nottingham, and/or London

Competitive Salary plus benefits

The DCC has developed and launched a digital foundation for the GB energy industry, providing the infrastructure that will digitise domestic energy consumption and improve costs behaviours, initially changing behaviours to reduce energy demand and cost to the consumer.

Through this infrastructure, information regarding each consumer’s consumptions behaviours and costs are now available to new categories of devices, applications, and services both within the home and beyond. Through the re-use of the DCC network and the development of new capabilities such as switching, load control and half hourly settlement, the DCC will have a key role to play in supporting the transition of the energy system and the delivery of Government’s Net Zero agenda.

Over time there is also the potential to reuse the network and the data it generates (with consumer position) to benefit other sectors, for example in home health services, and to introduce new data requirements and connect different devices that would benefit from the DCC’s high security standards (e.g. smart water meters). This is an exciting opportunity to shape and help implement the agenda of the most senior levels of the business which will require proactivity, resilience, and agility of mind. This role is heavily focussed on the economic regulatory framework of DCC how it will be shaped post 2026 (when the current DCC Licence expires).
