• Apply the Spanish regulatory framework in practice and the Spanish grid code.
• Collaborate with BV’s SMEs on assessing behind-the-meter and bridging generation options as a route around connection queues, including the implications for environmental permitting.

• Translate utility contracts, grid constraints and upstream system limitations into clear commercial and operational consequences for the client and for our project.

Project Delivery

• Deliver across the full spectrum of services: site screening and feasibility, road-to-power strategy, grid connection studies, conceptual design, permitting support, FEED and basic design, and Owner's Engineer assignments.

• Act as the client's single, named focal point through execution
• Support Business Development in moving opportunities through the commercial pipeline: shaping scope, contributing technical content to proposals, and attending client workshops and technical clarification meetings.
