Business Development Intern

Who we are - our mission:

terralayr addresses the massive deficit in global energy storage.

The over-indexing in the generation of electricity from renewable energy sources leads to a large volatility on the energy grid. The main problem is that wind and solar farms are fluctuating and by definition unsteady - there is no sun at night and it is not always windy. This increases the need for flexibility in the form of battery storage systems to balance the grid in times when supply and demand do not match.
By buying and developing grid scale storage assets, as well as virtually aggregating them across a layer, we are creating the world's first energy cloud. Imagine AWS for energy. Through the flexibility we secure, we can market flexibility-as-a-service and hedging products/power insurance to utilities, SMEs/Industrial players as well as create virtual storage capacity for PV & wind farms.

We are looking for a Business Development Intern (all genders) to join our team as soon as possible for a period of at least 3 months.
