  • Regulatory Advocacy: Monitor and participate in CAISO/WECC stakeholder processes (e.g., Interconnection Process Enhancements) and FERC regulatory changes to influence policy and protect project viability.
  • Due Diligence: Provide technical and commercial assessments for M&A activities, evaluating the risks and value of third-party interconnection positions.
  • Compliance & Milestones: Ensure all projects remain in strict compliance with NERC, WECC, and ISO tariff requirements, meeting all financial and technical milestones to avoid queue withdrawal.

  • Market Knowledge: Deep expertise in the CAISO Tariff, Business Practice Manuals (BPMs), and the annual Transmission Planning Process (TPP).
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems focus) or a related field (Master’s preferred).
  • Software Proficiency: Familiarity with industry-standard modeling tools such as PSS/E, PSLF, TARA, or PowerGEM.


Preferred Skills

  • Hybrid/Storage Expertise: Specific experience interconnecting co-located or hybrid resources (Solar + BESS) and navigating related CAISO modeling requirements.
  • Network: Established relationships with CAISO staff and California PTO (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) interconnection teams.
