About the Role
Great Britain's electricity system is undergoing an ambitious, exciting and vital transformation. Together with industry, we are creating a cleaner, greener system, one that protects the planet and serves generations to come.
The journey to net zero and a carbon free future has already begun, and the way we generate, manage and consume energy is changing for the better. Continuing to innovate and adapt the energy system will require a range of new tools and a reimagining of how the entire industry can come together to deliver lasting impact.
Innovation is also one of the central pillars of net zero transition and is about establishing a safe, collaborative space in which to explore higher‑risk technologies and ways of working. Our innovation function works to foster and embed a culture of innovation in the business, while ensuring we stay focused on solving issues affecting the industry as well as our priority challenges.
Join us and you would be communicating our exciting ongoing projects as well as the department’s work as a whole.
