Everyday life in THEMA

I started at THEMA in August 2021 as a recent graduate from a two-year master’s program in energy and environment from NTNU. Before this, I took a bachelor’s degree in renewable energy, and during those studies I gained a greater interest in the challenges of the energy transition related to the power grid, and therefore I later chose to specialize in electrical power systems. During my studies, I had an internship at THEMA and was introduced to the consultant role and how we work with current issues and create real value for the customer and society.

THEMA has been a very nice place to start my career. You are included in projects from day one and get to learn from the best in the industry. I feel that my competence is valued, while I learn something new every day as competence sharing holds a special focus. As a new employee I was welcomed by pleasant colleagues. Most of us sit in the office and we get to know each other quite well. In addition, we do fun activities outside of work together.

During my first year, I have worked on many exciting issues, including design of regulations for grid companies, mapping of flexibility for grid companies, development of a revenue model for batteries, and have become part of the market analysis team at THEMA. Here I get the opportunity to work with quantitative analyses linked to our power market model and follow the energy transition in Europe closely.
