Can you recognise how energy data in industry settlement can seemingly differ to the same data in internal systems? Do you know your DTC data from your UK Link data?If you’re a “yes” to some of those questions then you’ll love this role……
Octopus Energy is now one of the largest suppliers of gas and electricity to UK householders, with 6.5 million customers and a multi-billion pound turnover.
