You will perform real-time safety analyses, coordinate grid elements for maintenance projects, and help balance electricity supply and demand. You will anticipate overloads and seek solutions together with colleagues and international partners. In case of severe outages, you will help prevent blackouts and play a crucial role in rebuilding the grid. You will also cooperate on projects to improve efficiency and energy transition. As Market Engineer in the National Control Centre (NCC), you will guarantee grid safety by balancing production and consumption, evaluating preventive and curative measures and assessing the financial impact. You will manage power generation in Belgium, requests from market players and international intraday and balancing markets.
