Moreover, you can establish and grow a first network within the Energy Industry. The Energy Market Expert updates all aspects of a particular geographical remit and its energy markets which have a material impact on wholesale electricity prices, thus ensuring that the country-specific inputs to AFRY’s market modelling are accurate and up-to-date.  The expert role also involves supporting the development and maintenance of in-house energy market modelling assumptions, including generation capacity and demand, technology costs and decarbonisation targets as well as working in teams to write country or topics reports.
