Advising clients on the extent of competition in the wholesale electricity spot and contract markets plus ways to improve the workability and effectiveness of competition in these markets. Advising on the economic and business case for offshore wind in the NEM, and the enabling network, plus the regulatory and commercial frameworks required to deliver an industry at scale Explaining the pros and cons of transmission network access reform to clients, including moving to bespoke firm-access regimes to incentivise new renewables to locate in specific geographic areas (‘renewable energy zones’) Advising market bodies, governments, and market participants on the different means, and associated costs and benefits, by which to better integrate consumer energy resources into the power system, including the introduction of distribution network-level markets and distribution network tariff reform. Assisting with the setting of regulated retail tariffs (Default Market Offer, Victorian Default Offer), and the potential implications (intended and unintended) of setting these too high or too low. Working on projects related to the NEM’s retail market, wholesale market, transmission networks or distribution networks.
Your skills and experience
You hold demonstrable consulting experience within the energy sector advising on policy & regulation. You are familiar with advising on electricity sector policies, and passionate about addressing the challenges of the rapidly changing electricity sector. Your passion for solving some of the most critical and tricky problems will be clear to all who work with you. You will be able to lead and coach small teams to deliver high-impact results within a fast-paced environment. You possess an entrepreneurial mindset and are passionate about being part of our culture and building a team, in a rapidly growing environment. You are just as passionate about your own development, and that of your team, as you are about the industry. You have policy experience in the NEM in at least one of the following areas: wholesale markets, retail markets, transmission networks, or distribution networks. You have direct experience working or interacting with the NEM’s market bodies (AEMC, AEMO, AER), regulators (ACCC, IPART, ESCV), and/or government energy agencies (State / Commonwealth)
