Context & Environment

TotalEnergies Gas and Power is the trading arm of TotalEnergies in the field of low carbon energies (mainly gas, LNG and power). As such it operates in fast-evolving market dynamics influenced by internal and external factors that require constant adaptation and evolution. Uncertainties specific to the trading environment (volatility of prices, supply & demand mismatches) are coupled with those coming from the broader energy sector (climate change policies, changes in the energy mix, developments of new energy sources, etc). In such context, Trading helps to ensure growth and profitability to a key segment of the business in order to reach the objective of Carbon Neutrality by 2050.

Activities

• Develop, maintain, and run power market simulations using UPLAN for ERCOT, PJM, and CAISO.
• Calibrate model inputs and configurations to reflect observed market conditions, including generation dispatch, transmission constraints, and pricing dynamics.
• Analyze and interpret congestion patterns, identify root causes, and explain relationships to system constraints and market behavior.
• Collaborate with trading and strategy teams to provide actionable insights from model outputs.
• Lead the preparation of scenario analyses and stress tests to support strategic decision-making.
