Engagement Lead


Duration

Purpose

At CEEW, we envision a decarbonised electricity sector in India that provides reliable and affordable electricity services to all. To pursue this vision, we undertake interventions that can lead to accelerated and diversified deployment of renewable energy, socially and environmentally responsible deployment of RE and facilitate a just transition away from fossil fuel-based generation. We generate evidence for change, engage with policymakers to devise and implement policies and programmes, and evaluate the impact of initiatives on the ground.

CEEW seeks to hire a suitable candidate for the Senior Engagement Associate position to lead the team’s implementation efforts to increase the share of distributed renewables (DRE) in the grid. To accelerate the deployment, the candidate needs to build expertise on three fronts – nudging the consumer to adopt new technologies, identifying solutions with equitable incentives for stakeholders and facilitating the process with conducive policies and regulations. We are looking for a candidate with a comprehensive understanding of tariff mechanisms, state-level policies and regulations pertaining to distributed renewables, hands-on experience in stakeholder engagement (including discoms, electricity regulators, state governments and developers), a profound understanding of consumer behaviour, and the power market. The candidate will be expected to travel frequently within state and build relationships with key stakeholders, particularly government (both at the central & state level) and industry.

● Deepen the relationship in existing states and support the team to build relationships in new states.

● Build your profile and network in the state as a sector expert for DRE.

● Identify distributed renewable energy deployment issues and opportunities from the state’s perspective to support the team in conceptualising and executing research that can aid policy, regulatory and market-related changes.

● Share knowledge and findings on various internal and external platforms based on the research and implementation efforts through presentations, memos, short reports, opinion pieces, etc., with support from CEEW’s Outreach team.

Programme Assistance
