Job description

Anailísí Sinsearach / Senior Analyst - Future Power Markets

We are the people behind Ireland’s electricity grid. We operate the power system with world leading levels of variable asynchronous renewable generation, ensuring that everyone has power when they need it. But that’s not all, we are now transforming the power system for future generations.

And that’s just the beginning of our story. We have a critical purpose. That purpose is to transform the power system to enable our society to reduce our carbon emissions and meet our climate change and net zero ambitions.

Be part of the transformation!

The Opportunity

As a Senior Analyst within our Future Power Markets function, you will have the opportunity to develop your expertise with energy market principles, by working collaboratively across our business, and engaging with regulatory authorities and industry stakeholders. You will develop key project management and analysis qualities by carrying out analysis in relation to the implementation of new policies and procedures to ensure success in the future power market.

The Team

The Future Power Markets team is responsible for providing thought leadership in relation to market changes needed to deliver on the renewable electricity targets and is also responsible for delivering large programmes of work to deliver on changes approved by the regulatory authorities.

• Future Arrangements for System Services: This project is developing new arrangements for the procurement of innovative System Services which will be vital in facilitating operational change which will allow the power system to be operated with increasingly high levels of low carbon technologies and in achieving our 2030 renewables targets;
• Scheduling and Dispatch: This project is developing design changes to our core market and operational systems to deliver on changes associated with the treatment of non-priority dispatch renewables defined in the Clean Energy Package, making improvements on wind dispatch, and updates to scheduling and dispatch process to incorporate new energy storage solutions, low carbon sources of inertia, and the provision of reserves and systems services from new technologies.
• European Integration: Since Brexit the all-island electricity market is no longer integrated with the EU. Once the Celtic Interconnector goes live in 2026, we will be integrated again to the EU and this will require significant market changes.
• SEM-GB: The SEM market is interconnected with the GB market. Work is ongoing to develop post-Brexit arrangements
• Competitive market transition to Net Zero: Support the development of electricity policy in achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, in conjunction with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) and Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC).
• Capacity Market Development: Support the development of the Capacity Renumeration Mechanism, in collaboration with industry, regulators and stakeholders
• Tarriff Policy: Support the development of new tariff arrangements and co-ordinate the response to EU guidance on tariffication and approach to reducing network charges

• Degree in engineering, business, economics or other relevant qualification with 4 years post degree experience.
• Excellent problem solving and analysis skills.
• Experienced in general drafting, writing and presenting technical and non-technical reports.
• Demonstrated communication and influencing skills with internal and external stakeholders.
• Flexibility and agility to manage a wide range of issues at the same time.
• Excellent interpersonal skills and a proven ability to work effectively as part of a team.
