Origination Manager – PPA & Offtake Solutions (dfm)
Job Summary
With our AI-powered fully automated optimization and trading platform for large-scale battery storage we ensure that energy is stored when it is abundant and fed back into the grid when it is needed. This relieves the power grid which is coming under increasing pressure due to the expansion of renewable energies. Through the active trading of electricity we also counteract the strong price fluctuations that green energies bring with them.
