Job Description

Company Overview

Plus Power is an energy storage market leader, with a portfolio exceeding 10 GW across more than 25 US states and Canadian provinces, aiming to transform North American electric grids into cleaner and more versatile infrastructure.

Standalone energy storage is rapidly changing North American energy markets because it is cheaper than new natural gas plants, faster to build than fossil peakers or transmission, and capable of providing diverse energy services. Plus Power collaborates with electricity system operators, utilities, and investors to develop, finance, own, and operate standalone energy storage projects that deliver critical services to the wholesale electric market. Our team adopts a data-driven approach to development and operations, emphasizing intentionality.

At Plus Power, we focus on solving challenging climate issues profitably. We are experiencing rapid growth and value candidates who set high expectations, learn from mistakes with radical transparency, and prioritize internal collaboration. Our culture is praised for its supportive ecosystem and mission-driven environment.

About the Role

We seek outstanding energy industry professionals motivated to develop, build, and operate assets safely and reliably to decarbonize power markets and advance their careers. Ideal candidates have a data-driven mindset, collaborative behavior, and a focus on personal growth.

To facilitate the transition from a carbon-based to a renewable energy grid, large-scale energy storage must be integrated into the system to balance intra-hour supply and demand. Energy storage enables high penetration of variable renewable sources like solar and wind.

We are looking for a Trading Analyst to support revenue forecasting and energy trading strategies for operating assets. The successful candidate will be highly motivated, self-directed, and disciplined.

• Develop and execute fundamentals-based price forecasts for ERCOT and ISO-NE, considering supply/demand dynamics, congestion, and fuel prices
• Gather relevant market data via API or web scraping to optimize BESS trading strategies based on forecasted market conditions, participating in day-ahead and real-time markets
• Leverage existing Python algorithms to enhance bidding efficiency and profitability
• Perform daily updates to the Perfect Foresight Methodology and provide insights to the Trading team
• Conduct daily analysis of MAPE and KPIs, offering insights to the team
• Coordinate with Settlement Analysts to align on PnL strategies
• Monitor market rule changes in ERCOT and ISO-NE and assess their impact on trading strategies
• Ensure compliance with market participation requirements and operational protocols in collaboration with internal teams

Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a quantitative discipline; Computer Science preferred
• At least 2 years of relevant experience in the energy sector
• Experience with power settlement; ERCOT and ISO-NE experience is a plus
• Familiarity with battery energy storage systems is a plus, but not required
• Excellent communication skills, able to explain complex analyses clearly
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to collaborate across diverse teams
• Problem-solving skills, with the ability to collect data, establish facts, and draw conclusions
• Ability to work effectively in a cross-functional, geographically dispersed environment
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, with intermediate to advanced skills in Excel, Python, SQL, and PowerBI
• Must be able to commute to The Woodlands, Texas
