We are seeking a technically skilled Analyst to join our Energy Policy and Regulations team. The role focuses on distribution-system planning and operations, particularly load-flow analysis and involves assessing the impact of emerging technologies at the sub-distribution level. The Analyst will develop data-driven insights to support reliable DISCOM operations while contributing to policy-relevant research on India’s energy transition. The position also requires a strong understanding of the Indian power sector, along with the ability to manage project deliverables and communicate findings effectively with internal and external stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Lead research on distribution network load flows to assess impacts of DRE integration, EV uptake, rooftop solar, and optimal sizing/siting of BESS at feeder and DT levels.
- Track and analyse policies, regulations, and emerging technologies in the distribution sector to generate data-driven insights for decision-making.
- Evaluate state-level power system characteristics, including load curves and planning criteria, to inform infrastructure upgrade needs.
- Collaborate with state and national stakeholders to develop and advance actionable recommendations.
- Produce policy briefs, technical reports, presentations, and journal articles to communicate findings.
- Travel across India, as required, to support stakeholder engagement and project execution.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant field, such as Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Energy and Power Systems.
Skill Set
- Experience with distribution network modelling and simulation tools (e.g. DIgSILENT and Python/R-based energy models) or transmission planning studies.
- Strong understanding of DISCOM regulations, distribution planning criteria, and demand forecasting practices in India.
- Familiarity with emerging technologies such as EVs, rooftop solar, energy efficiency, and solarised agricultural pumps.
- Strong analytical and research skills, with proficiency in data analysis and the ability to interpret complex policy and regulatory documents.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, along with strong presentation skills.
