Responsibilities
- Coordinate with the company's REP and QSE in ERCOT, PJM, and other deregulated wholesale markets to execute DA and RT power scheduling aligned to mining load profiles and price forecasts
- Monitor market pricing, ancillary service markets, demand response products, and settlement statements for cost recovery and continuous optimisation
- Design, implement, and optimise curtailment programs to maximise DR revenue and reduce net power cost
- Build real-time DR dispatch models aligned to miner curtailment, RT price spikes, grid emergencies, and ancillary service opportunities (RRS, ECRS, NSRS in ERCOT; ELRP, SRM, Economic DR in PJM)
- Coordinate Coincident Peak (4CP) curtailment strategy using available market intelligence; advise site operations on execution timing
- Report DR performance metrics to management and regulatory bodies; ensure ongoing program compliance
- Produce DR revenue reports and settlement reconciliations for the management team
- Develop and execute a forward power hedging framework to reduce exposure to market price volatility
- Structure block energy purchases (off-peak, on-peak, around-the-clock) calibrated to the company's load shape and budget constraints
- Provide regular mark-to-market reporting, hedge ratio analysis, and strategy recommendations to leadership
- Manage financial hedging instruments; prepare cost exposure reports including margin call risk assessments
- Lead or support negotiations for PPAs, REP contracts, and QSE agreements at self-mining sites — targeting rate structures suited to 24/7 high-density mining loads
- Review and negotiate power pass-through terms in co-location agreements: energy rate mark-ups, demand charge allocation, ancillary service cost sharing, and curtailment compensation provisions
- Monitor co-lo power costs and recommend renegotiation or site migration where material savings are achievable
- Coordinate with legal counsel to finalise contract terms, exit provisions, force majeure clauses, and curtailment rights
- Track and interpret FERC, PUCT, PJM, ERCOT, and state-level regulatory developments affecting wholesale and retail power markets
- Assess the impact of regulatory changes on the company's power cost, DR eligibility, curtailment obligations, and market participation rights
- Maintain real-time market surveillance dashboards covering price forecasts, capacity outlook, fuel indices, and weather-driven volatility
- Publish monthly and quarterly power market reports for executive leadership with actionable strategy recommendations
- Revise DR strategies, hedging positions, and contract laddering schedules in response to market evolution
- Conduct a structured audit of power terms received at each co-location site — including tariff classification, energy pass-through rate, demand charge allocation, and ancillary service cost treatment
- Evaluate the host's DR program and curtailment protocols; assess how DR dispatch events affect the company's mining uptime and net effective power cost
- Benchmark the all-in effective power rate at each co-lo site against self-mining alternatives; recommend renegotiation, DR program changes, or load migration with quantified impact on mining economics
- Build financial models to project revenue and cost savings when proposing more cost-efficient power strategies, directly supporting management decision-making
- Prepare periodic power cost reports (monthly, quarterly, annual) encompassing all sites and operational models
Skills
- Minimum 3 years of direct, hands-on experience at a QSE, power marketing company, IPP, or energy consultancy with QSE-level trading responsibilities
- Demonstrated track record executing DA and RT scheduling in ERCOT and/or PJM; familiarity with at least one additional ISO/RTO (MISO, SPP, CAISO) is valued
- Proven ability to design and manage industrial Demand Response programs in deregulated markets, with measurable cost or revenue outcomes
- Hands-on experience structuring block energy hedges and forward power positions for large industrial or commercial load customers
- Track record negotiating power supply agreements with demonstrable improvements to contract terms
- Proficiency with ERCOT market tools: Nodal protocols, Settlements, MIS portal; and equivalent PJM tools (eSchedules, Market Portal, eMKT)
- Strong financial modelling capability in Excel / Google Sheets; experience with energy-specific platforms (Openlink Endur, Triple Point, or equivalent) is a plus
- Ability to build and interpret load forecasting models, price curve analytics, and hedging P&L reports
- Familiarity with SCADA or EMS systems for real-time load visibility is advantageous
- Deep understanding of FERC, NERC, PUCT, and PJM / ERCOT tariff and market rules, including ancillary service and DR program design in both ISOs
- Awareness of emerging federal and state policy affecting large industrial loads — carbon regulation, transmission cost allocation reform, and distributed energy resource aggregation
- Familiarity with Bitcoin mining load profiles, hashrate economics, and load shaping strategies is a plus
