About the Organization Swaniti Initiative is a social enterprise that is working at the intersection of climate, governance and last mile delivery. We believe that while the willingness and resources exist, there are fundamental gaps in the execution within communities that is the biggest crisis in the climate movement. Accordingly, Swaniti works with subnational governments to conduct microplanning exercises with consultations with community and key stakeholders to understand the pathways forward, provide technical assistance to subnational governments to provide support in program implementation and support in monitoring and delivery of programs. Swaniti has been working across multiple geographies in the global south to unlock capital. Our three core metrics include unlocking public capital, ensuring last mile communities are directly benefitted and creating systemic changes in the public service systems. While we are continuing to focus on impact, it is critical to have a lead who has a deep understanding about monitoring, evaluation and learning. Our intention is to create an institutional capability to measure and document the scale of our impact and look at how learning can be replicated across the institution. 1.

About the Role
Swaniti Initiative is looking for a technically qualified and research-oriented professional with 2–3 years of experience in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and energy policy analysis. The candidate will contribute to research, policy analysis, regulatory assessment, and stakeholder engagement to support energy transition and industrial decarbonisation initiatives. 2. Key Roles and Responsibilities A. Energy Efficiency and Industrial Decarbonisation
• Research energy consumption patterns and energy efficiency opportunities across industrial sectors, particularly MSMEs and industrial clusters.
• Assess potential energy efficiency interventions, technology adoption, and industrial decarbonisation pathways using available data and stakeholder inputs.
• Understand industrial manufacturing processes and identify opportunities for improving energy performance and operational efficiency.
• Analyse the potential benefits of energy efficiency interventions in terms of energy savings, cost reduction, productivity improvement, and emissions reduction.
• Identify policy and implementation gaps affecting the adoption of energy-efficient technologies. B. Renewable Energy Integration and C&I; Solarisation
• Research opportunities for renewable energy adoption among commercial and industrial (C&I;)



consumers.
• Analyse different renewable energy procurement models, including rooftop solar, captive, group captive, third-party open access, and hybrid renewable energy systems.
• Assess the technical, regulatory, and economic aspects of renewable energy integration.
• Analyse electricity tariffs, landed power costs, open-access charges, and the financial implications of renewable energy adoption for C&I; consumers.
• Study the role of battery energy storage systems, distributed energy resources, and emerging renewable energy technologies.
• Identify barriers and enabling factors for scaling up renewable energy adoption among industries and MSMEs. C. Energy Policy Research and Regulatory Mapping
• Conduct research and analysis of central and state-level policies related to renewable energy, energy efficiency, and industrial decarbonisation.
• Map relevant government schemes, financial incentives, regulatory frameworks, and institutional mechanisms.
• Review state electricity tariff orders, open-access regulations, net metering provisions, and other relevant regulatory developments.
• Undertake comparative assessments of state-level energy policies and identify gaps in policy implementation.
• Track emerging policy developments and assess their implications for industries, DISCOMs, and other energy-sector stakeholders.
• Develop policy recommendations to support renewable energy adoption and industrial energy transition. D. Research, Data Analysis and Knowledge Products
• Collect, compile, and analyse energy-related information from government reports, regulatory documents, DISCOMs, industries, and other credible sources.
• Conduct state-wise and sector-wise assessments of renewable energy potential and energy efficiency opportunities.
• Analyse electricity consumption, tariff structures, renewable energy procurement, and industrial energy-use datasets.
• Prepare policy briefs, research reports, analytical notes, concept notes, presentations, and knowledge products.
• Support the development of presentations and briefing materials for government and industry consultations. E.



Government and Industry Stakeholder Engagement
• Support consultations with state energy departments, renewable energy agencies, DISCOMs, industry associations, MSMEs, financial institutions, and technical experts.
• Participate in government meetings, stakeholder consultations, workshops, and roundtable discussions.
• Undertake industrial cluster visits to understand manufacturing processes, existing technologies, energy-use practices, and decarbonisation challenges.
• Support coordination and collaboration with government institutions, industry representatives, and development partners. Requirements 3. Essential Qualifications and Experience
• B.
E./B.
Tech in Electrical Engineering or Electronics/E&C; Engineering from a recognised institution.
• 2–3 years of relevant professional experience in the energy sector, particularly in renewable energy, energy efficiency, power-sector research, or energy policy consulting.
• Good understanding of India's renewable energy landscape, energy efficiency programmes, and electricity regulatory framework.
• Solid written and verbal communication skills. 4. Technical Knowledge and Skills The candidate should ideally have:
• Understanding of renewable energy technologies, particularly solar PV, rooftop solar, captive solar, and open-access renewable energy.
• Understanding of energy efficiency technologies and industrial decarbonisation opportunities.
• Knowledge of central and state renewable energy policies, regulations, and government schemes.
• Strong data analysis skills, particularly using MS Excel.
• Proficiency in MS Word and PowerPoint for preparing reports and presentations.
• Familiarity with RETScreen, PVsyst, or other energy assessment tools would be an added advantage. 5. Preferred Experience Preference will be given to candidates who have worked with:
• Think tanks, policy research organisations, or development-sector consulting firms.
• Renewable energy companies or energy-sector consulting organisations in research and policy-related roles.
• Government departments, state renewable energy development agencies, or DISCOM-related assignments.
• Industrial decarbonisation, MSME energy transition, or C&I; renewable energy projects. Please Note
