WORK HISTORY
Manager - Energy & Infrastructure (Specialising in Corporate Ppas) @EY
Energy strategy & PPA advisor, principally for global corporates:• Advise clients on delivering their net-zero strategy. Help them build the business case to improve the delivery of their energy and environmental goals, in line with emerging technologies, standards and upcoming changes to relevant regulations and standards.• Deliver roundtable events and workshops to educate energy procurement and sustainability teams on energy risk management strategy and system optimisation, sometimes focused on how to bring key suppliers onto this carbon reduction journey. This often involves communicating technical information to non-technical audiences.• Work with our clients to build a long-term PPA strategy that fits their decarbonisation goals, based on current and forecast energy consumption. Proven track record of working with utilities, regulators and developers across the energy industry to achieve this. • Leverage the Level Ten platform and EY\'s developer network to run PPA tender processes in most major EMEA PPA markets (mainly in the UK), requiring a thorough understanding of energy economics, grid regulations, technological options and policy in each. Use data analysis to reach optimum pricing strategies to advise customers on the best products to manage their energy price risk.• Work with some clients to build a long-term PPA strategy that fits their decarbonisation goals, based on current and forecast energy consumption. This is followed by PPA contract negotiations (alongside legal advisors), to provide due diligence on commercial and financial aspects of the PPA and deliver the market opportunities identified.

ABOUT HELEN DEWHURST
I\'m passionate about fighting climate change through an increased uptake of renewable energy. I believe in the power of businesses to accelerate the energy transition and I have worked as an advisor in energy management for nearly a decade, now as part of the energy and infrastructure corporate finance team at EY. This has helped me develop a strategic approach to helping companies achieve ambitious energy efficiency and reduction goals. I have worked alongside numerous energy procurement, sustainability and carbon reporting teams, applying a deep knowledge of the UK energy market to deliver cost and carbon reduction programmes across a range of industries.
