new delhi, India Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) Full time

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 Programme Lead position to shape the team’s research efforts to increase the share of distributed renewables (DRE) and its integration 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 the power market and grid integration modelling. The candidate will be expected to travel frequently to priority states and build relationships with key stakeholders, particularly government (both at central & state level) and industry.

● Develop trust-based relationships with key stakeholders, especially with discoms, regulators, state nodal agencies, developers and other research organisations and interact regularly to understand the challenges and opportunities in the DRE sector

● Evaluate the quality of draft data analyses and reports prepared by direct reports as well as all research products under the distributed renewable energy verticals

Project and people management

● Lead project implementation in states by contributing towards preparing detailed activity plans and timelines, resource planning, stakeholder management, and donor engagement.
