POSITION OVERVIEW

The Power Marketing Analyst will support the analysis of power market trends, risk assessment, regulatory developments, and other insights that inform the company's power marketing and origination strategy for its solar and energy storage project development portfolio. The role supports the sourcing and execution of offtake opportunities for utility-scale solar, energy storage, and hybrid projects, and helps the Origination & Power Marketing team build strategic partnerships with utilities and other load-serving entities (LSEs) around Power Purchase and Energy Storage Tolling agreements, and alternative revenue structures such as Development Asset Transfers and Build-Transfer Agreements. The ideal candidate brings commercial and regulatory experience in utility-scale solar and energy storage, along with a strong understanding of market dynamics and shifting trends in energy procurement among major offtakers.

Reporting to the Senior Director of Power Marketing and Origination, this role is responsible for data analysis, market research, and coordination with cross-functional teams to help prepare proposals and optimize origination strategies. Over time, the Analyst will develop experience across:

• The development cycle of new utility-scale solar and energy storage projects
• New market strategy for greenfield campaigns
• Future procurement trends of major LSEs, including through Integrated Resource Plans (IRPs)
• Evolving contracting mechanisms in the solar and storage space
• Targeted M&A activity

Strong analytical skills, developing market knowledge, and the ability to communicate findings clearly are essential for success in this role. This position is expected to travel up to 10% of the time.
