The responsibilities for the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero for 2023 are as follows:

- Delivering security of energy supply
- Ensuring properly functioning energy markets
- Encouraging greater energy efficiency
- Seizing the opportunities of net zero to lead the world in new green industries

For 2023, our priorities are:

- Ensure security of energy supply this winter, next winter and in the longer-term - bringing down energy bills and reducing inflation.
- Ensure the UK is on track to meet its legally binding Net Zero commitments and support economic growth by significantly speeding up delivery of network infrastructure and domestic energy production.
- Improve the energy efficiency of UK homes, businesses and public sector buildings to meet the 15% demand reduction ambition.
- Deliver current schemes to support energy consumers with their bills and develop options for long-term reform to improve how the electricity market works for families and businesses.
- Seize the economic benefits of Net Zero, including the jobs and growth created through investment in new green industries.
- Pass the Energy Bill to support the emerging CCUS and hydrogen sectors; to update the governance of the energy system; and to reduce the time taken to consent offshore wind.

**Our Inclusive Environment**

We are building an inclusive culture to make the Department a brilliant place to work where our people feel valued, have a voice and can be their authentic selves. We value difference and diversity, not only because we believe it is the right thing to do, but because it will help us be more innovative and make better decisions.

We offer first-class flexible working benefits, excellent employee well-being support and a great pension. We are fortunate to have a range of excellent staff networks and are proud to be a Disability Confident Leader employer. We will support talented people from all backgrounds to build a career and thrive.

**Job description**:
Would you like to deliver critical policies for addressing energy security and climate change? In 2019, the UK became the first major economy in the world to legislate to have “net zero” carbon emissions by 2050, meaning we will no longer be a net emitter of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change.

Energy Systems and Networks Directorate work is at the heart of one of the biggest transformations the UK’s economy will need to go through over the next few decades. Our objectives are:
Establish the governance needed to support the future energy system, including establishing the Future System Operator at the heart of the system by or in 2024

Ensure the transmission and distribution networks, on and offshore, are delivered when and where they are needed to support energy targets, at least cost to consumers, communities and the environment

Facilitate the development of a smart, flexible and digitalised energy system which supports changing sources of demand and generation.

We are recruiting for roles across the Energy Systems and Networks directorate. You could be working on a range of teams including;
Electricity Networks Strategy and Programme roles - Our team provides strategic oversight of the overall approach to electricity networks policy, a Ministerial priority as the network needs to transform at an unprecedented scale and pace. We lead and coordinate advice to Ministers on cross-cutting issues and work closely with other policy teams to lead on electricity network strategy and engagement. We also have a Project Management Office (PMO) and lead on governance for the electricity networks programme.

Electricity Storage roles - our team is facilitating a best-in-class regulatory framework to support the deployment of electricity storage at all scales. These technologies are key enablers to a secure, cost-effective, and low carbon energy system by 2035. In the March 2023 Powering Up Britain: Energy Security Plan, the government committed to put in place an appropriate framework to enable investment in large scale long duration electricity storage by 2024. Our team is delivering this commitment, supporting investment in pumped hydro storage and cutting-edge innovative technologies such as liquid or compressed air, flow batteries or other novel solutions.
