Energy Systems Data Analyst

An Energy Systems Data Analyst is like a detective for electricity, gas, and other energy sources. They look at huge amounts of data from power stations, wind farms, solar panels, and even people's homes to understand how energy is used and generated. They use special computer tools to find patterns, predict how much energy will be needed in the future, and spot problems or ways to make things more efficient. For example, they might analyse data to see why a particular wind farm isn't producing as much electricity as expected, or to help design smarter ways to store energy. Their work is super important for making sure we have enough power and for helping the UK reach its goals of using cleaner energy. This role involves a lot of problem-solving and using maths and computer skills. You would spend your time collecting data, cleaning it up to make sure it's accurate, and then using analytical tools and sometimes programming languages like Python or R to explore it. You would then present your findings clearly to others, helping engineers, managers, and policymakers make important decisions about our energy future. It's a key job in making sure our homes stay warm, our lights stay on, and we're kind to our planet by using energy wisely.
