As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for growing the client base of Ecolibrium, our Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platform.

The Commercial team is responsible for liaising with the Grid and other flexibility service buyers to ensure platform assets are registered for such services.

About Ecotricity Smart Grid

Ecotricity Smart Grid is the corporate entity responsible for developing the control and optimisation platform Ecolibrium, which monitors and controls assets of both Ecotricity and third parties remotely. Our team is responsible for the platform and models that constitute the Ecotricity Virtual Power Plant, as well as procuring flexibility assets as clients for the VPP.

This includes 'non-owned' assets such as PPAs and contractual relationships with 3rd parties for embedded generation response, or load flexibility. We work in close conjunction with our Trading team to arbitrage price spreads/load shifting, as well as developing revenues from the ancillary services market.

Core Responsibilities

  • Research and assess the viability of emerging flexible technologies of interest to the VPP, including commercial modelling.
  • Determine the value of the AMVLP process and complete or close accordingly.
  • Oversee account management.
  • Oversee the integration and onboarding of assets, making the process as efficient and seamless as possible.
  • Work closely with key internal stakeholders from the planning, construction, and operations teams.
  • Manage relationships/communications with key external technical stakeholders, in particular National Grid ESO, DNOs, and Elexon.
  • Ensure all necessary qualification work is complete for qualification for ancillary services (AS).
  • Assess new Grid services.
  • Ensure asset development is aligned with AS needs (size, location, design).
  • Assist the General Manager in following policy and regulatory developments that impact upon aggregation proposition, and keep up to date with current legislation, policy development, and other issues relevant to the position within the company and renewable energy industry, including necessary consultation responses that affect ESG activities.
  • Responsible with the General Manager for marketing Ecolibrium and overseeing content on the ESG website/portal. This will include identifying suitable conferences/trade shows and deciding on stand presence, as well as contributing articles where possible (to trade press or website) and originating speaking opportunities for PR purposes.
Additional Responsibilities
  • Contribute to strategy development.
  • Ensure necessary POs are raised and track the annual budget for the department, providing a monthly summary of spend.
About You

We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced individual with a detailed technical understanding of renewable technologies, particularly energy storage. You should have good process skills, good presentation skills, excellent analytical ability, good commercial acumen, and the ability to draft contracts to support commercial arrangements.

You should also have strong report writing ability, excellent MS Excel skills, a pro-active 'can-do' attitude, and good communication abilities. Understanding of the UK energy regulatory framework is also essential.

What's in it for you...

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including a healthcare plan, life assurance, and generous pension contribution. You will also have the opportunity to work in a dynamic and innovative company that is committed to making a positive impact on the environment.

We are an equal opportunities employer and are committed to providing equality for all. If you are a motivated and experienced individual who is passionate about renewable energy and commercial development, we would love to hear from you.
