Corp/Commercial Development at a Large Energy Retailer/Generator ?
Hi all,
as topic implies - would love to know if people have had any experiences working in the development team at a large energy retailer (with its own generation assets) ?
Cheers
Based on the most helpful WSO content, working in the development team at a large energy retailer can be quite an enriching experience. You'll likely be involved in a variety of tasks, from cultivating relationships with major players at the operating units (like ops management, marketing, accounting, etc.) to creating ad hoc reports for management, the board, investor relations, and sometimes even activist investors.
One of the most interesting tasks you might get to do is putting together the long-term forecasted financials for the consolidated company. This process can teach you a lot about restructuring ideas, tax efficient strategies, and capital funding requirements for growth projects.
You might also have to perform multiple deep dives for your operating units and put together presentations to help explain an acquisition target’s main operating metrics and drivers of value.
Remember, every day is a new learning opportunity. Embrace it and you'll do great!
