Energy storage is the key to unlocking a future where our world is powered by renewable resources. At Convergent Energy and Power, our mission is to make the electrical grid cleaner, more reliable, and less expensive by leveraging state-of-the-art energy storage and distributed generation technologies.

The Project Finance Analyst will play a key role in evaluating Convergent’s energy storage solutions for utilities and end-use customers within targeted markets. This position ensures projects are both economically viable and competitively positioned, while also supporting finance and capital markets by modeling debt and tax equity to advance Convergent’s financing needs. The Analyst will help drive the financial performance of projects and work closely with the Project Development and Sales teams to optimize offerings.
