RESP will ensure coherence between regional and national net-zero ambitions/plans.We are now recruiting for the team to lead and develop the RESP role. It’s a great opportunity to join us as we set out to help decarbonise the UK in a local community-based way.As a
RESP Energy Forecasting Analyst , you will play a crucial role leading the development and modelling of short and long-term regional energy pathways/scenarios that show energy supply and demand projections across GB. These will be key to enabling long-term confident investment in both gas and electricity distribution energy networks. You will also play a key role leading collaborative work with a wide range of stakeholders to develop and agree consistent and transparent planning assumptions such as approaches to energy forecasting across the distribution energy system, covering electricity, gas, hydrogen supply and demand and other key areas.This
