🏢 About Iberdrola

Iberdrola is a global energy leader accelerating America's clean energy transition while maintaining industry-leading ethical practices.

About This Role

This Senior Analyst role focuses on supporting SPEN's regulatory strategy by monitoring policy developments, preparing consultation responses, and ensuring compliance with Ofgem's ED3 price control framework. The position is impactful because it directly influences how Iberdrola navigates the evolving UK electricity distribution landscape, balancing regulatory obligations with business objectives in a critical sector.
