About Modo Energy
The energy transition is the biggest infrastructure buildout in human history. Modo Energy is the data platform at the centre of it.
We build the benchmarking, forecasting, and valuation tools that the world's most serious energy investors, developers, and operators depend on to make decisions. If a battery gets financed, built, or traded anywhere in the world, there's a good chance Modo Energy's data was in the room.
Founded in 2019, we're 90+ people across London, New York, Sydney, and Madrid; $30M Series B, AI-native, and moving fast.
This is a rare chance to join a category-defining company at the moment it's scaling globally.
About the role
Developers, traders, investors and utilities read Modo Energy's research to understand what happened in the market and why.
The research sits alongside Modo Energy's data products. Clients use them to track what operating batteries and other technologies actually earn, to see which assets are operating and planned in each market, and to value and finance new projects using Modo Energy's long-term price and revenue forecasts.
Those forecasts come from a model of each market's supply, demand, transmission and rules. Modo Energy also provides in-house subject matter expertise that informs its long-term models and gives customers insight and market intelligence on power market outcomes, market and policy design changes, and the direction of travel for wholesale power markets.
You will own the coverage of one or more US markets. That means knowing what is driving those market outcomes and being able to explain those factors/variables, and what those outcomes do mean for the revenues and costs of power systems infrastructure being built in a given region there. It also means following market design and policy changes, quantifying their impact, and saying which ones matter.
This is not just a data analysis job. The data work matters, but the key output is a view and an ability to articulate that view: how the past and present of your market connect to its future, and what that means for the forecasts.
You will have the platform to become a trusted authority on your markets: what's happening in wholesale and bilateral power markets, what Modo Energy's forecasts say about it, and why.
Reports to: US Research Lead
Regions: All US power markets - ERCOT, PJM, MISO, SPP, CAISO, NYISO and ISO-NE. You will start by owning one or two.
What you will do
Cover your markets. Publish regular analysis of how your markets are performing: what prices did, what batteries and other assets earned, and what is being built or waiting to connect. Typical pieces are monthly revenue reviews, quarterly market outlooks and buildout updates. Battery energy storage is the core focus, but the coverage extends to solar, wind, gas and load growth.
