You’ll be a motivated, creative thinking energy professional who is a great communicator and project manager and enthusiastic about contributing to a change in the energy system.

An industry-first, Project LEO (Local Energy Oxfordshire), is an InnovateUK funded programme exploring how the growth in local renewables, electric vehicles, battery storage and demand side response can be supported by a local, flexible, and responsive electricity grid to ensure value for consumers and opportunities for communities and market providers.  

As part of this exciting programme, Oxfordshire County Council will be working alongside Oxford Brookes, Oxford University and EDF over 3 years to create and realise the benefits from a GIS spatial tool to aid with future energy systems planning that will help to accelerate the low carbon transition in Oxfordshire.
