As a leader in our industry, we have over 22 GW of utility-scale energy storage and hybrid renewable energy projects in development and 33 projects in operation or construction across North America.

Responsibilities:

• Gather, organize, and analyze data to anticipate demand for utility-scale energy storage and renewable hybrid projects across different geographies, timelines, and commercial structures;
• Track market developments such as transmission planning processes, interconnection process reforms, new load and thermal retirements to assess the implications for market entry and siting strategies;
• Monitor customer and competitor activity;
• Support analysis to quantify and communicate value propositions for Aypa projects;
• Support policy and regulatory research to identify barriers to and opportunities for market development;
• Develop and apply quantitative and qualitative metrics to gauge competitiveness and risks of potential site locations;
• Screen potential site locations for development feasibility;
• Coordinate with internal subject matter experts in the identification of project locations most likely to be successful in targeted markets;
• Contribute to building tools for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of converting commercial insights into well-positioned project sites;

• The ability to manage a steep learning curve across a wide range of topics;
• Passion for learning about the electric power sector and value drivers for utility-scale energy storage and hybrid renewable projects;
• Demonstrably strong organizational skills and experience using project and task-tracking tools;
• High initiative and desire to thrive in an entrepreneurial environment with senior mentorship but limited task-level direction and supervision;
• As part of a lean and dynamic team, the candidate must be able to plan, oversee, and personally execute numerous projects simultaneously, work well under pressure, and adjust to changing priorities.
