Under general direction of the Project and Program Supervisor, the analyst will assist high-level decision makers such as Commissioners, Judges, and Energy Division management. The analyst may act as a team leader and project coordinator on policy and projects to support the interconnection of electric generation and storage to the distribution electric grid. These efforts will entail evaluation of competing policy proposals for Tariff Rules 21, 15, 16, and 2 on the basis of their ability to support safety, reliability, and state climate goals (e.g. SB 350 and SB 100).
The analyst will make recommendations based on independent analysis of regulatory, policy and technical issues. They will develop analyses for and make recommendations regarding the CPUC’s rulemakings via a wide range of work products. They will also review and provide policy feedback on proposed legislative bills, and/or oversee implementation of programs that result from CPUC and legislative processes. The rulemaking process and the associated policy recommendations will involve coordination with technical standards for smart inverters and other Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). They will also support internal processes, coordination with other sections, and General Rate Case proceedings.
The analyst will perform other work as necessary, such as writing and presenting reports, communicating with other California organizations and agencies (e.g. California Independent System Operator, the California Energy Commission, and the California Air Resources Board), and responding to outside inquiries. Support of informal facilitation of disputes between Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs) and protestants and policy development forums may be required.
