What does the day look like?
Around 35% of your day is spent negotiating long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Government Support Agreements (GSAs), and grid tariffs with energy ministries and national regulators. Another 25% goes to managing the regional P&L, approving CAPEX and OPEX budgets, and structuring project finance with multilateral development banks like the IFC, EBRD, ADB, and AIIB. The rest involves reviewing operational metrics, safety audits, directing country managers, and managing cross-border supply crises. You rely on tools like SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Wood Mackenzie Lens, BloombergNEF (BNEF), S&P Global Commodity Insights (Platts), Rystad Energy Cube, Palantir Foundry for Energy, OSIsoft PI System, and Microsoft Power BI.
The glamorous part of cutting ribbons and high-level ceremonies takes up roughly 10% of the role. The remaining 90% is spent reviewing 400-page sovereign risk matrices, regulatory tariff filings, loan covenants, and resolving customs bottlenecks. You work 55 to 70 hours per week, spend 35% to 50% of your working days on cross-border travel, and remain on permanent on-call accountability for major infrastructure emergencies.
