Financial Modeller - Grid-Scale Energy Storage

Energy Dome is the owner and developer of CO2 Battery technology, a ground-breaking innovation which uses carbon dioxide in a closed loop thermodynamic process to provide efficient, affordable long duration energy storage (LDES) for intermittent renewables - the key to enabling decarbonization of the global power system. The CO2 Battery is already proven in operation at Energy Dome’s MW-scale demonstration project in Sardinia, Italy, and the company is expanding rapidly with first full-scale (20MW/200MWh) commercial projects already under construction or awarded in Italy, the United States, and India. The company has a robust pipeline in USA, EU, UK, Australia, Chile, and other key LDES markets. The CO2 Battery is a standardized, modular product which uses off-the-shelf industrial components with well-established, global supply chains, enabling Energy Dome to rapidly scale-up and accelerate widespread adoption of the technology in key global markets. Energy Dome offers the CO2 Battery to the market both as a technology supplier (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and under an “energy storage-as-a-service” or Build-Own-Operate (BOO) business model. The BOO arm is experiencing significant growth with projects moving into operation phase, as well as a significant backlog of projects in development and under contracting.

• Commercial understanding of project lifecycle risks, grid interconnection, and market entry strategies in various jurisdictions.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills; comfortable working with senior stakeholders and cross-border teams.
• Ability to manage multiple workstreams across varying regulatory and market environments.
