South East or Economic Heartland Energy Strategic
2 weeks ago
**Job Purpose**:
Great Britain's electricity system is undergoing an ambitious, exciting and vital transformation. Together with industry, we are creating a cleaner, greener system, one that protects the planet and serves generations to come.
The National Energy System Operator (NESO) is taking on the exciting new role of being the Regional Energy Strategic Planner. We will be responsible for developing Regional Energy Strategic Plans (RESPs) for 11 regions across Great Britain, empowered through recent Ofgem decisions and an ongoing consultation.
The South East or Economic Heartland RESP will need to reflect regional characteristics and priorities, driving whole energy considerations across all energy vectors. Think renewables, heat decarbonisation, hydrogen, energy networks, transport and flexibility And how each region’s needs differ yet come together in forming the Great British energy plan. To achieve this, we need a Wales based team - to work alongside our other regional and central teams in forming the hub and spokes needed for energy planning to benefit from and reflect local inputs.
Developing the South East or Economic Heartland RESP will require us to work with organisations at a local level (‘local actors’) including local government and gas and electricity networks, to improve understanding of the infrastructure needed in different parts of the country and attract investment for projects. Stakeholder engagement will be key to unlocking the benefits of integrated regional energy planning.
This is the first time we will have a regional presence in South East or Economic Heartland. Alongside your regional manager, you will be the first to establish and commence energy planning work within your region. Regional teams will continue growing in 2025.
The purpose of this job is to lead certain aspects in developing the South East or Economic Heartland RESP. This will include leading or inputting into specific energy aspects of the whole energy system as part of the team and wider NESO, leading engagement with some key stakeholders, maintaining and strengthening cross-team working with other regional and central teams, deputising for and working closely with your manager, and leading on specific packages of work in developing and then delivering RESP. As the team grows, you may be expected to take on line management responsibilities for up to 3 people.
Having an understanding and lived experience of South East or Economic Heartland will be key.
Our focus in the immediate term is to build trust with our stakeholders, establish our process and methodology, and grow our capability in whole energy systems to best support local actors and industry stakeholders in developing credible plans to support net zero.
This role will be home based in South East or Economic Heartland until a regional hub opens, please expect travel to either the Warwick/ Wokingham office as and when is needed.
**About us**:
As Great Britain’s electricity system operator (ESO), we sit at the heart of the electricity system, using our outstanding engineering and commercial expertise to balance electricity supply and demand. Ultimately, we keep the electricity flowing directly to where it’s needed, second by second.
**Becoming the National Energy System Operator**
In Summer of 2024, the ESO will transition to becoming the National Energy System Operator, or NESO for short. Previously denoted as the Future System Operator (or FSO), the new National Energy System Operator will be the independent body responsible for planning Great Britain’s electricity and gas networks and operating the electricity system.
The ESO, including all of its existing roles, will be at the heart of the new National Energy System Operator. As NESO, we will build on our existing roles, capabilities, and ways of working significantly to create an organisation the energy system and its users’ need. Our new capabilities will enable us to look across vectors, including electricity, natural gas and hydrogen, and crucially consider the trade-offs between them.
The organisation will be set up as a public corporation with its own Board of independent directors, with complete operational independence from government, the regulator and any and all commercial interest. As the ESO are today, NESO will be licenced and regulated by Ofgem through price control agreements and obligated to identify optimal solutions to system operations and planning in the most sustainable, affordable and secure way for all.
The time to deliver is now. As part of our team, you won’t just be touching the lives of almost everyone in Great Britain - you’ll be shaping the way we use and consume energy for generations to come.
**Key Accountabilities**:
- To develop, consult and then implement relevant parts of the RESP methodology to your region
- To define and lead on regional energy strategic planning work packages; working in a matrix style structure to ensure work y
