What does a day in the life of an economist and energy analyst look like?
An energy analyst role can encompass several different functions. In my position, I handle data analytics, engineering analysis, and economic analysis and modeling.
This can involve reviewing companies' financial documents. It might also mean comparing the cost-effectiveness of one technology against others, or against different projects.
Essentially, the goal is to determine if a particular technology offers comparable benefits for the investment or implementation cost. In simpler terms, it's about comparing various solutions to see if they provide equivalent benefits for the price.
