The Intern will join a team of economists, former industry practitioners and regulators who work on high-stakes, sophisticated economic and strategic issues, along four dimensions of expertise in the energy sector:
**Strategy** - FTI Consulting advises energy companies and governments on how to position and invest in the decarbonisation of energy systems - Examples:

**Regulation** - FTI Consulting advises energy ministries, regulators and regulated companies on the design and impact of regulatory regimes applicable to electricity, gas, carbon, fuels and related markets - Examples:

- Designing a new, comprehensive, incentive-based regulatory regime for the electricity sector over the next 12 years, in an developing country aiming to further liberalize its electricity sector
- Assessing the quantitative impact of several proposed reforms of the EU's carbon market on carbon emissions, carbon price, electricity price and investments in future power generation
