Senior Long-term Power Analyst - London

Energy Aspects has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior Analyst to join our growing long-term team, based in London. This is a fantastic opportunity for a knowledgeable Senior Power Analyst to play a central role in our long-term team, predominantly focusing on power markets, as well as assisting in broader market analysis as required.

This position will be responsible for leading our fundamental analysis of power markets.
