Energy Market Risk Analyst (f/m/d) Renewables

As the operator of one of Europe’s largest virtual power plants, we network thousands of electricity producers, consumers and storage facilities, forming a strong team for renewables. That’s why we don’t just see ourselves as an electricity trader, energy service provider or cleantech company. We are “the Power of Many” for the energy transition!
