Energy Intern

Position Summary

Antora’s Energy Team is seeking a Summer Associate (Intern) for Summer 2026 to build automated powered tools and workflows that streamline complex power supply analysis. Over ~10 weeks, you’ll deliver a mission-critical project (e.g., a energy development desktop study automation pipeline and/or an interconnection opportunity mapping workflow) that accelerates how Antora identifies, evaluates, and de-risks high-priority projects supporting faster deployment of Antora batteries.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Prototype and deploy AI-enabled workflows for key energy research components, such as:
  
  • Electricity pricing and cost drivers
  • “Utility friendliness” summaries
  • Utility contacts and interaction history
  • Utility + interconnection options
  • Interconnection timelines and cost ranges

• Develop a filterable “Interconnection Intelligence Map,” leveraging interconnection tools like Piq that catalogs substation specs, MW withdrawal capacity, and estimated interconnection costs; overlay insights with Antora’s customer/project pipeline to identify geographic “sweet spots.”
• Package your work so it persists after the internship: documentation, handoff materials, and a usable tool/workflow that the team continues using.

Key Qualifications

• Foundational understanding of energy markets and energy storage project development.
• Strong analytical ability: comfortable synthesizing multiple data sources into clear, actionable recommendations.
• Demonstrated experience applying AI tools (LLMs, RAG, agents, automation) to real-world problems—especially extracting insights from unstructured data and building repeatable workflows.
• Ability to communicate technical findings clearly and document processes so others can use and maintain them.

Additional Qualifications Desired

• Familiarity with utility tariffs, interconnection processes, and common terminology in grid development.
• Experience with power/market modeling and data analysis or energy analytics tools (e.g., PROMOD, Orennia, PLEXOS or similar).
• Experience building lightweight data products (dashboards/maps), pipelines, or APIs—especially for geo-tagged or utility-territory-based datasets.
• Interest in experimenting with “agentic” workflows (interactive analyst assistants) and iterating quickly from prototype to usable internal tool.
