**Company Description**:
**Portfolio Flex Strategy Intern, Southern European Origination (6 months)**

**Location**: Dusseldorf

**Internship duration**: 6 months

**Start date**: 1st October 2025

Who we are:
As Europe's largest producer of renewable energy, we aim to be a leading player in the global energy markets. The energy world is in the midst of a major shift: reducing greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.

Statkraft's Origination activities are about understanding these dynamics and their impact on the pricing of energy and energy-related products, as well as developing meaningful and innovative solutions for our commercial and industrial customers on their journey to decarbonization.

Our Origination business brings renewable energies to the market and to consumers. This is done through balancing services and power purchase agreements with renewable energy producers and hedging or supplies for our industrial and commercial customers (PPAs - Power Purchase Agreements). The latter range from standard electricity contracts to tailored green electricity supplies with guarantees of origin, which provide our customers with proof that the electricity purchased is generated by a specific facility.

In order to manage the risks of fluctuating renewable electricity generation, we are also involved in the management of flexible generation plants.

Our origination activities are carried out from a number of offices worldwide, e.g. in the Nordic countries, Central, Northwest and Southern Europe, as well as the UK, USA and South America.

**Working in Southern European Origination**:
Statkraft’s Southern European Origination team concludes non-standard, structured and often complex transactions in wholesale energy markets of Spain/Portugal, France, and Italy. We are organized into local Origination teams in each market plus the Portfolio Management team in Germany. While the Origination teams originate, structure, and negotiate new transactions, Portfolio Management focuses on pricing these transactions and managing the portfolio exposure in the market, including trading of power and other energy commodities. Foundational to the responsibilities of the Portfolio Management team is the development of sophisticated pricing models und underlying stochastic and fundamental power market models. All teams closely collaborate on a joint “one team - one PnL” philosophy per region.

Statkraft’s Southern European Origination has been a first mover on long-term PPAs in Spain and Italy with more than 50 wind and solar PPAs contracted. In addition, the portfolio consists of tailor-made long-term agreements with IPPs/generators and large end customers as well as other non-standard flexible and structured wholesale products. Furthermore, Southern European Origination is running a PPA business in France and holds a sizeable route-to-market renewables portfolios in that market.

We are looking for an intern to join the Southern European Origination Portfolio Management team for a 6 month internship, starting 1st October 2025.
