BNEF Team Ethos:
To succeed at BNEF we need people who can work in an independent manner and show initiative to develop their own viewpoints, yet be collaborative with colleagues. We don't rely on the status quo, we look for innovative yet pragmatic thinking that turns big ideas into real insights and impact. Working at BNEF sometimes feels chaotic; we need teams that are both dynamic and structured to generate the unique perspectives our clients really value. Our teams are diverse, creative, focused, and fun!

BNEF is seeking a highly motivated talent to join our European Power team in London to build and analyze power market models and write research on the future of European electricity markets and prices. You will take a key role in developing and building out our short-term and long-term power market analysis. Working closely with our gas, carbon and data teams, you will help the power team develop tools to conduct analysis faster and more efficiently, and take ownership for key power markets.

The role is data-heavy and requires confidence in building and maintaining complex models and datasets. The successful candidate will contribute to regular reports and build their own expertise and research agenda, analyzing primarily the short-term trends that shape power markets and prices.

You will be based in our London office, working as part of the European Power team within the European research group. Our data driven research helps clients stay on top of developments across the energy sector, supported by the unique depth and breadth of the Bloomberg Terminal and bnef.com platforms.
The European Power team models and analyzes the future of European power markets. Our work ranges from looking at what dynamics will shape the power price in the coming months, to looking at how high-renewables power systems will behave in 30 years’ time. The team produces and writes research for clients across trading, utilities, government, and finance. We work closely with other teams in BNEF to quantify the impact of changes in gas and carbon prices, policy, electrification, and changing technology costs will have on power prices and investment. This includes assessing the future value of wind, solar, gas, and battery storage projects, quantifying the cost of paths for reaching net-zero in 2050, as well as studying how variable renewable generation is already changing power markets today.
