  • Previous experience in an IPP, ISO, utility, or as a transmission consultant.
  • Involvement in market stakeholder processes or regulatory advocacy.
  • Experience with queue attrition modeling or replicating ISO studies.
  • A master's degree in Power Systems may substitute for one year of experience.
