Hi, im new here, and recently taking the course to understand energy analytics. Ive been having a look around on linkedin at some jobs as a junior can get into. theres a role for "Power Market Modelling Consultant" - Here is a snippet of their requirements.. What You’ll Be Doing - Building and running market models to explore price evolution, dispatch patterns, capacity dynamics, and policy impacts. - Applying tools such as PLEXOS, Python, R, and advanced spreadsheet modelling to deliver evidence driven insights. - Supporting economic and regulatory assessments, including evaluating future energy scenarios and system wide implications. - Communicating complex findings clearly to internal teams and external stakeholders. - Working with multidisciplinary colleagues on projects for government, industry, and energy ecosystem organisations.
