Your future plans
The "Systems and Processes Team" within the Intraday Trading and Dispatch Management Desk is in charge of the operation and development of various core operational systems for the commercialisation and control of one of Europe's largest fleets of power stations.
More than 20 GW of currently installed capacity are spread across various asset classes including conventional, renewable and storage and we look forward to an additional 3 GW from RWE‘s Battery investment pipeline in the very near future.

One particular area of focus in our team is our SCADA-system infrastructure (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) that connects our optimisation systems with our power stations.

• Provide stakeholder management towards the various interest groups
• Support the development of a long-term picture for the SCADA system landscape
