One of Shaharโs key areas of ownership is the companyโs production planning functionality, a core capability that helps renewable energy sites operate efficiently while meeting the regulatory requirements of the electricity market.
The feature enables sites to optimize their generation plans under complex operational constraints, balancing production targets, site limitations, market requirements, and real-world execution needs.

Daily soundtrack: She is currently tuning into books and podcasts focused on preparing for an exciting new chapter ahead: becoming a parent.
Why she loves it here: She values the autonomy and trust she is given to manage her own tasks, alongside the tight-knit company culture, especially the daily lunch breaks where the team sits together, laughs, and takes a genuine pause from the workday.
