Energy Reporter

Description:

Seeking Energetic, Inquisitive Reporter Who Knows How to Own a Beat

Fast-growing trade publication (www.rtoinsider.com) covering the electric power industry and climate policy seeks an energetic, inquisitive beat reporter to cover regulatory and legislative policy news and write enterprise features.

The best reporters know how to go narrow and deep on a subject, gaining enough expertise to translate complex issues into readable prose. This position provides an excellent opportunity to hone your craft. In some cases, you’d be the only reporter in the room. An added bonus: almost everything you’d cover would occur during weekdays.

This company is fully remote, with 20 reporters, editors and correspondents strategically located around the U.S., though the person filling this position must be willing and able to travel 6-8 times a year, for a couple of days at a time, to Toronto and Calgary.

You’d primarily cover policy and stakeholder meetings of the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) which works at the heart of Ontario's power system, as well as the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO). Both organizations have provincial and federal oversight agencies that also would be covered. Much of the coverage can be done remotely from the U.S. You can live anywhere, although the Washington, D.C. area is preferable to meet in person occasionally with editors for training and feedback.

Enterprise topics include industry trends, new technologies, climate change policy, etc. In addition, you’d cover relevant industry conferences, reports and webinars.

We seek candidates with at least five years of reporting experience. Knowledge of economics, statistics and business concepts is helpful; some knowledge of energy regulation would be ideal. 

The salary is competitive; benefits provided by parent company Yes Energy are generous.
