Energy Market Authority

Analyst - Senior Principal Analyst (Planning/ ECO)

Fixed TermsClosed

What the role is

Climate change is a global existential threat, and Singapore is doing its part to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions for a more sustainable future. The power sector contributes about 40% of Singapore's greenhouse gas emissions. We need to significantly reduce the power sector's emissions, while ensuring that the power system remains secure, reliable, and sustainable.

To overcome our land constraints, Singapore is looking to tap on electricity imported from regional power grids, to allow Singapore to access cleaner energy resources outside Singapore's borders.

What you will be working on

You will join a dynamic and multi-disciplinary team tasked to facilitate imports into Singapore and regional grid interconnections. Specifically, you will join the Planning branch in the Energy Connections Office, where your key responsibilities include:

Developing and implementing EMA's policies and regulations to enable the electricity imports projects; and
Collaborating with government and private sector stakeholders on land planning, permits & approvals, project financing, and other necessary measures to ensure project success.

What we are looking for

Requirements:

We are looking for people with strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to coordinate and co-create creative and practical solutions across multiple internal and external parties.
You must be comfortable working in ambiguous and evolving environments, with a proactive and adaptable mindset.
You must be open to grasp and apply technical concepts, deep-dive into the technology, supply chains and economics of these projects.
You should also be a team player and be prepared to travel overseas for work. Those with prior experience in project/stakeholder management, electricity trading, and industry engagement will have an advantage.
