In 2020, renewable energy was the only energy source for which demand increased and it is expected that renewables will account for 90% of capacity increases over the next two years. Arenko Group aims to modernise the infrastructure that ensures this capacity can be optimised.
The company provides software solutions that allow energy operators to supply energy more efficiently to the grid. Through their AI-powered software system, Arenko supports battery asset owners and operators to optimise their energy storage by allowing them automatically buy and sell electricity on the grid ensuring they maximise revenue across multiple power and energy markets at the same time.
Arenko currently works with the battery and grid operators across the UK and are part of the National Grid ESO’s Technology Advisory Council, along with the likes of Transport for London and Octopus Energy. With a focus on creating a faster path to net-zero and a more resilient energy grid, Arenko aims to become a global leader in this space.

My team is entirely international - everyone is from a different country. We also have different educational backgrounds: engineers, physicists and traders such as myself. This lends itself to a naturally diverse culture where new ideas are always welcome and every individual has their own unique approach to problems.

At Arenko an open structure exists where we are all working in the same direction, so if my opinion can help the CEO or Commercial team, it is always welcome. Equally within my own projects, my opinion is trusted to shape the project in my own way with a good degree of autonomy.

Perhaps more relevant to the Data Science team, where there is always more to learn: a heavy focus on individual goals, upgrading skills and encouraging research & development are essential ingredients to continually learning and growth.

Arenko used to be a small company. At the moment, it is experimenting a massive growth, which means that new roles are created very frequently to fulfil the company's needs. This offers such a good opportunity for existing employees to quickly scale up in their careers or even change departments if desired.

Part of my role is to help ensure that Arenko stays ahead of the curve in the markets we participate in. Since the dynamics of energy markets are rapidly changing, I'm constantly learning new things on the job. There's also a culture of sharing interesting findings and results from our work. We also have allocated R&D time, budget for training courses, and occasional company-wide "Lunch and Learn" presentations.

Through optimising clean technologies like energy storage and renewables, our work involves exploring and implementing innovative ways energy storage can help achieve a clean energy system. It's meaningful to me that our work directly contributes to building an energy system that is zero-carbon and more efficient, and thus cheaper for end-consumers.

Constant learning / becoming a jack of all trades to some extent is required due to tooling and design patterns still being in a state of evolution. For someone who left a larger company with more process and mature in-house tooling to gain awareness of a wider range of areas, this is perfect.
