Senior Consultant, Net Zero Transition

Esther is a Senior Consultant in the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure team.  She is a Chartered Engineer with over a decade of experience in the power engineering sector, focusing on low carbon technologies such as electric vehicles and energy storage.  She has a particular interest in the integration of electric vehicles with the energy system.  Recent project experience includes acting as technical lead for Electric Nation : Electric Nation, a large trial of domestic smart charging which demonstrated how this technology can be used with high customer acceptability to manage increased demand on electricity networks relating to EV charging.  She is currently overseeing the integration of transport model data within the ConnectMore tool on the Charge project.  ConnectMore will allow stakeholders to understand demand for EV charging, and the available network capacity within a single tool, facilitating the roll-out of EV charging infrastructure.

 Esther is also actively involved in promoting STEM and engineering to a diverse audience, including recently completing a project with the Queen’s School in Chester, and presenting her work on Electric Nation to the LGBT STEMinar.

Consultant, Net Zero Transition

Tom holds the role of Consultant, working in the Net Zero Transition Team at EA Technology.

Tom recently completed the Cheshire Energy Hub graduate scheme where he gained experience working in a range of roles and companies within the energy sector, ranging from developing software to speed up Electric Vehicle Charge Point connection requests for EA Technology’s Innovation Delivery Team, to working in protection at Scottish Power Energy Networks.

Tom is currently involved in projects looking at enabling DNOs to facilitate the Net Zero Transition at the best possible value to customer by analysing flexible solutions to avoid costly network reinforcement, and where traditional solutions are required conducting a Cost-Benefit Analysis to demonstrate the best valued propositions.
