We are seeking a agile and technically skilled Analyst to join the Energy
Policy and Regulations team. The Analyst will play a key role in evaluating
distribution-system planning and operational developments in the power sector,
with a strong focus on distribution load-flow analysis. The role involves
assessing the impacts of emerging technologies at the distribution level and
developing data-driven strategies and recommendations to support reliable and
efficient DISCOM operations. This position offers a unique opportunity to
contribute to policy-relevant research and help shape the future of India’s
energy transition.

Responsibilities

* Undertake field visits to validate network databases and other technical
parameters in coordination with the operational staff of DISCOM.
* Conduct network modelling and analytical studies on distribution network
load flows to assess the impact of increasing Distributed Renewable Energy
(DRE) integration, EV uptake, and rooftop solar deployment, including the
sizing and siting of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) at the feeder and
Distribution Transformer (DT) levels.
* Track and analyse distribution-sector energy policies, regulations, and
emerging technologies, leveraging data analytics to generate strategic insights
and support informed decision-making.
* Evaluate state-level power system characteristics,



including load curves,
demand profiles, and network planning criteria, to contextualise distribution
infrastructure upgradation needs.
* Collaborate with state and national stakeholders, including DISCOMs,
regulators, policymakers, and industry partners, to promote actionable
recommendations.
* Prepare policy briefs, technical reports, presentations, and journal
articles to disseminate research findings to relevant audiences.
* Willingness to travel within India to engage with different states as per
project requirements.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s or master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Energy & Power
Systems, or a relevant field

Skill Set

* Experience with distribution network modelling and distribution grid
simulation tools (e.g. DigSilent, CYMDIST, Python/R-based energy models, or any
other).
* Strong understanding of DISCOM regulations, distribution network planning
criteria, and demand forecasting practices in India.
* Well-versed in emerging technologies (EVs, rooftop solar, energy
efficiency, and solarised agriculture pumps) that influence the evolving energy
landscape.
* Strong analytical and research skills with proficiency in data analysis and
deriving insights.
* Excellent communication and presentation skills, both written and verbal.
