Company mission
To be the distributed energy platform that fulfills the promise of the energy transition.
Role
Who you are
- Strong writing skills and excellent editing and formatting skills with emphasis placed on accuracy, precision, and consistency
- Experience using formal, preferably legal citation styles
- Strong research skills without overreliance on AI tools
- Strong project management skills and ability to multi-task; comfort with collaborative work-tracking platforms like Monday.com a plus. The team works broadly over many initiatives simultaneously, and a part of the role will be administrative assistance
- Current student or recent graduate of a Law or Policy advanced degree (preferred)
What the job involves
- Voltus is hiring a smart, detail-oriented regulatory intern with a willingness to learn fast within highly complex subject areas
- Must have strong writing and project-management skills and an interest in chasing down information to its source for reference in written regulatory and legal advocacy and other public-facing documents
- You will work on a small team but collaborate widely across the organization
- Assignments will be diverse but concrete and generally fixed in scope and duration rather than open-ended
- Most of your time will be spent not on standalone projects but in supporting teammates within larger initiatives
- For example, you may be asked to add citations, proofread or fact-check, or to audit or augment our project tracking database
- Expect frequent but friendly feedback to ensure alignment, with your feedback to your manager or teammates also welcome
- You will gain knowledge of the energy industry, regulatory advocacy, administrative law, and the complex world of energy market regulation
- This role is well-suited to a law student curious about a career in regulatory work or the clean energy industry
- This internship can be full- or part-time; we will work with your schedule
- Voltans work remotely across many time zones, with limited co-working space available in New York and Boston
- The job can be social as per your preference; expect bright, friendly, and helpful colleagues
Our take
The push towards green energy, combined with a sharp pivot away from traditional energy sources like natural gas, has accelerated the development and commercialisation of new electrical supply solutions. One such solution is the leveraging of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs): small-scale supply or demand resources that can be hooked up to the electric grid to help meet (or ease) demand.
Voltus helps broker this connection between DERs and the grid, allowing commercial owners of DERs to connect them to all the wholesale electricity markets in Canada and the US, and thereby gain and manage a potentially substantial additional income stream.
Voltus doesn’t manage as much load as competitors in the space like Enel X and CPower, but with its 2021 SPAC funding, it’s aggressively driving to capture more of what’s quickly becoming a hefty market opportunity. Behind-the-meter loads like water heaters and AC, and energy sources like microgrids and EV chargers, are increasingly sought after by businesses and land owners, and Voltus is benefitting from partnerships with large businesses such as Madison Square Garden Arena and Western Grain Marketing.
