Performing data-driven assessments to evaluate the impact of enhancements to the demand response and interruptible load programme on factors such as market fairness, market efficiency, and benefits to the power system;
Promoting participation in the demand response and interruptible load programme to industry players and government agencies; and
Exploring, designing, and implementing test-beds and pilots to unlock new use cases for demand side management.
Requirements:

Relevant experience in policy development, demand management, and knowledge of the electricity market;
Strong analytical skills and the ability to dissect issues and develop coherent solutions;
Strong writing and communication skills;
The ability to collaborate effectively with stakeholders; and
