Where will you be working?

To contribute to a planet that runs entirely on clean energy, that’s what they burn for at Energy Pool. The good news is that the energy transition from fossil fuels to clean alternatives is accelerating. However, as you probably know, the generation of wind and solar energy is uncertain. The biggest challenge of the energy transition is therefore how to keep electricity supply available, reliable and affordable.

At Energy Pool, they know this can be done by developing smart grids and activate the demand side of the energy system. They are the European leader in Demand-Response Solutions and operate the largest Virtual Power Plant. They aggregate industrial and commercial consumers to improve their capabilities to adjust their consumption and monetize this flexibility. They provide network stability solutions, trade in electricity markets, optimize renewable energy assets, implement micro-grids, manage congestion, support cost effective decarbonization of the industry, and more.
