About this role
The position of Lead Energy Economist will develop data requirements, perform verifications and validations, as well as perform forecasting analysis to understand and predict load forecast risks. This need is being driven by substantial load growth from electrification with electric vehicles, data centers, artificial intelligence, and other new sources of demand and from extreme weather events are stressing our grid more than ever as consumers continue to set records for electricity use. Load forecast uncertainty is growing, as is the differences in year-over-year forecasts and the differences between load forecasts in different SPP process (i.e. resource adequacy and transmission planning).
