As part of your cover letter, please include a paragraph on your favourite recent example of energy innovation or something in the energy innovation space which you have found interesting/intriguing and why? This innovation does not have to be a technology, it can be commercial, regulatory or something else, but we are simply keen to get some insight into how you think!
