Description  
We are playing a vital part in accelerating the transition to Net Zero and a carbon neutral energy system - a goal that everyone wants to achieve. You’ll be playing your part in creating new energy solutions that are great for customers, and great for the environment.

It’s important to us that we recruit from a wide range of professional and personal backgrounds – bringing different perspectives and experiences to our work.

Our Low Carbon Regulated Asset Base (RAB) team works across some of the key components of the Government’s ten-point plan for a green industrial revolution. So this is a great opportunity to play your part in working towards Net Zero targets, shaping low carbon policy and promoting the best interests of energy consumers. Expect to get involved in cutting-edge topics such as carbon capture use and storage, new nuclear investment, and monitoring the implications of hydrogen as an emerging energy source. As part of a cooperative and interdependent team of policy, finance, engineering, legal and regulatory experts you’ll manage specific workstreams for the team and undertake detailed development of core components of the regulatory regime for Ofgem’s Low Carbon RAB work. You’ll provide recommendations to colleagues and senior management on key elements of strategy, policy, regulatory functions and potentially specific projects. And your contribution will support and advise the development of new models to support investment in large low carbon generators and carbon capture use and storage.

We want to hear from people who are passionate about making a difference to this vital work. You should be a clear and logical thinker who can grasp complex issues and material and communicate well in writing and in person. You should already have experience of working with complex subject matter and making recommendations on policy and / or strategy development. Strong candidates will be able to offer particular expertise in the fields of regulation, economics, finance, legal, or engineering. You should be well-organised and able to manage priorities and take the initiative to meet deadlines. You should also be able to assure that you have the interpersonal and presentation skills to represent Ofgem effectively in external meetings with different stakeholders.

Ofgem is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We embrace diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. All employment is decided on the basis of open and fair competition, merit and business need.

Job description

The Low Carbon Regulated Asset Base (RAB) team is a collection of high performing, collaborative, and flexible staff, working across a number of new and exciting policy areas. Our work is excitingly varied, from advising the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and Her Majesty's Treasury (HMT) on regulatory and strategic issues, developing new approaches to financing large scale energy investment, regulating new energy technologies and services, to developing policy crucial for meeting our decarbonisation goals. Some of the team’s remit currently includes carbon capture use and storage, new nuclear investment, and monitoring the implications of hydrogen as an emerging energy source.

As part of a cooperative and interdependent team of policy, finance, engineering, legal and regulatory experts, new joiners to the team will have the opportunity to take responsibility for managing specific workstreams and supporting on others by undertaking detailed development of core components of the regulatory regime for Ofgem’s Low Carbon RAB work.

Responsibilities

• Developing strategic, policy, and regulatory advice relating to the development of new models to support investment in large low carbon generators and carbon capture use and storage.

• As there are multiple roles, different successful candidates may be more focused on regulation, economics, finance, legal, or cost assessment/engineering.

• Undertaking qualitative and quantitative analysis to understand the value for consumers and level of risk associated with different policy options, regulatory regimes and individual projects.

• Providing recommendations to, and working cooperatively with, the team and Senior Management on key elements of strategy, policy, regulatory functions and potentially specific projects.

• Working in a dynamic, fast-paced, supportive, inclusive and high-performing team. This will include participating in open policy debates, enthusiastically embracing change and new workstreams, sharing views, and representing the team and Ofgem with other areas and agencies.

• Responding to changing priorities when necessary and helping manage organisational risk. As a flexible team, the postholder will be expected to support a range of projects across Strategy and Decarbonisation (and potentially other directorates). They may be deployed in other high priority areas, should the need arise.
