    • Actively tracking and participating in regional transmission planning processes, and advocacy for AES Clean Energy interests in stakeholder forums.
    • Performing transmission due diligence for acquired projects.
    • Preparing and submitting interconnection applications for new projects.
    • Handling projects through the interconnection process, including working with internal and external stakeholders.
    • Obtaining, updating, and maintaining regional power flow base cases with changes in resource mix and transmission topology based on ISO/RTO regional plans.
    • Preparing network upgrade cost allocation estimates for proposed projects, based upon applicable tariff.
    • Verifying and challenging study results; performing multiple scenario sensitivity analyses based on future queue projections and retirements.
    • Understanding and gaining proficiency in ISO/RTO and Transmission Owner tariffs, business practices, interconnection standards, study practices, cost allocation methodologies, transmission planning standards, and transmission system performance evaluation criteria; possessing an understanding of regional transmission plans and operational practices.

    Desired Skills and Expertise:

    • Proficiency in power flow software (PowerWorld, PSS/E).
    • Familiarity with ISO/RTO and Transmission Owner tariffs, planning processes, and generator interconnection processes.
    • Strong organizational skills and ability to handle and prioritize several projects simultaneously to meet project schedules.
    • Ability to communicate efficiently in verbal and written correspondence.

    Minimum Qualifications:

    • Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or related field.
    • 3-5 years of working experience in renewable energy development or transmission planning with an emphasis on generator interconnection.
