Job description

MISO is seeking a Generation Planning Advisor to help shape that future.
This is a highly visible role for an experienced generation planning professional who thrives on solving complex industry challenges. You'll evaluate emerging resource adequacy and generation planning issues, develop long-term strategic recommendations, and influence decisions that support the reliable evolution of one of North America's largest electric systems.
If you're passionate about generation planning, resource adequacy, grid reliability, and helping prepare the power system for tomorrow's challenges, we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Do
Lead the Future of Generation Planning! You'll serve as a strategic advisor focused on evaluating how the changing resource mix will impact reliability, planning, and system operations for years to come.
Key responsibilities include:
  • Evaluate the impacts of growing inverter-based resources (wind, solar, battery storage), distributed energy resources, electrification, and large load additions on future generation portfolios.
  • Assess emerging resource adequacy challenges, generation fleet evolution, fuel diversity, transmission dependency, system flexibility, and reliability risks.
  • Analyze how extreme weather events, changing grid characteristics, and emerging technologies influence long-term resource planning.
  • Identify gaps in existing generation planning methodologies, analytical tools, planning assumptions, and business processes.
  • Develop recommendations that improve long-term generation planning strategies and support a reliable, resilient electric system.
  • Evaluate future generation technologies and their impacts on system reliability, operational performance, and market outcomes.
  • Integrate technical, economic, regulatory, and policy considerations into strategic recommendations for leadership.
  • Translate complex technical findings into clear business recommendations that support executive decision-making.

Beyond technical expertise, you'll help define MISO's long-term direction by:
  • Developing strategic roadmaps that guide future generation planning initiatives.
  • Translating strategic vision into actionable milestones, work plans, and implementation priorities.
  • Identifying key risks, dependencies, resource needs, and decision points.
  • Supporting research initiatives focused on emerging generation technologies and future resource adequacy.
  • Providing leadership with visibility into strategic progress, opportunities, and tradeoffs.

What You'll Bring
We're looking for someone who combines deep generation planning expertise with strategic thinking, technical leadership, and exceptional communication skills.
Required Qualifications
  • Master's degree in Engineering, Economics, Public Policy, Business Administration, Applied Mathematics, or related discipline.
  • At least five years of leadership experience through supervision, project management, technical leadership, or leading cross-functional initiatives.
  • 8+ years of experience across several of the following areas:
    • Generation Planning
    • Resource adequacy
    • Electric utilities, ISOs, or RTOs
    • Power system operations
    • Competitive wholesale electricity markets
    • Regulatory and legislative frameworks
    • Emerging generation technologies
    • Reliability planning
    • Grid modernization

Why This Role Matters
The electric industry is undergoing one of the most significant transformations in its history and you'll have the opportunity to:
  • Determine how future generation resources are planned, evaluated, and integrated into the power system. Your work will directly influence long-term resource adequacy strategies, generation planning priorities, and the reliable transition to a cleaner, more resilient grid.
  • You'll work alongside nationally recognized experts while helping solve some of the industry's most important challenges-ensuring the electric system remains reliable, affordable, and prepared for the future.

Appropriate level will be determined based upon experience and knowledge.
At MISO, you will work alongside industry experts helping solve some of the most important reliability and energy transition challenges facing the grid today-all while making an impact on more than 47 million people across our footprint.
The base salary compensation range being offered for this role is $147,000-$157,000 USD annually. Base salary range for this position is included in accordance with requirements of various state/local pay transparency legislation. Please note that salaries may vary for different individuals in the same role based on several factors, including but not limited to location of the role, individual competencies, education/professional certifications, and qualifications/experience.
Position is also eligible for an annual bonus if individual performance and company objectives are met. At MISO we offer a comprehensive benefits package, including 401k, vacation, sick and safe time, available on your first day of employment.
Transformative innovation is happening in the electric industry, from digitalizing homes and distributed resources to renewable energy and an ever-changing grid. MISO manages the electricity superhighway in the Central U.S. and using groundbreaking research and sophisticated technology, our highly skilled employees ensure power flows reliably to 45 million Americans. Operating the electricity grid, running a robust energy market, planning for a bright future - it's what our immensely hard-working and dedicated team does every day.
