Job Description

As a Grid and Regulation Senior Analyst at ScottishPower Renewables, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and supporting the company's grid and regulatory strategy across the UK and Ireland. You will support all charging-related activities-both Distribution and Transmission-ensuring SPR remains at the forefront of regulatory developments and commercial opportunities.

This role requires a strong understanding of grid charging mechanisms, ancillary services, and regulatory frameworks. You will work closely with internal teams and external stakeholders to influence policy, support project development, and communicate key regulatory themes to senior leadership.

Reporting directly to the Grid & Regulation Manager, this role is primarily focused on providing expert oversight on grid policy to support Grid Analysts in delivering connection applications. The applicant will be responsible for leading the commercial analysis of ScottishPower Renewables' full portfolio-across all technologies, both onshore and offshore-spanning projects in development, construction, and operation within the UK and Ireland.

Key responsibilities include managing charging analysis and connection policy to support senior management, as well as preparing and presenting investment committee papers for approval on a range of grid and regulatory initiatives.

The role also involves active participation in policy reform, including shaping the reformed national pricing framework. This includes contributing to code modifications, supporting task force activities, and advancing SPR's OpTIC proposal.

What you'll be doing

You are responsible for operator engagement across the UK and Ireland, focusing on charging matters and service contracts. This work supports SPR's growth targets in both connections and revenue generation. A key part of your role involves preparing and presenting proposals to SPR's Investment Committee, covering technical and commercial aspects such as grid charging forecasts, due diligence, and BM Reviews.

You actively contribute to stakeholder engagement planning to ensure alignment with SPR's business goals and development pipeline. This includes coordinating internal and cross-business forums to mitigate compliance risks, unlock revenue opportunities, and optimise the development pipeline.

Monitoring market activity around ancillary services and emerging technologies is another core responsibility. You assess feasibility and viability of innovative solutions for SPR sites across the UK and Ireland, helping to inform strategic decisions and future investments.

You also manage financial control submissions related to grid charging forecasts and revenues, ensuring accuracy and alignment with business requirements. In addition, you design and deliver training packages on topics such as industry codes, charging statements, ESO publications, securities, liabilities, and connection processes.

Finally, you play a key role in shaping the national pricing framework, with a focus on operational and siting signals. You also lead SPR's lobbying efforts, particularly in advancing the internally developed OpTIC charging modification CMP433.
