In this job, you'll reside in the Demand and DER Forecasting Group within SCE's Strategy & Regulatory Affairs organization. You will be part of the team who helps build integrated long-term energy and peak demand forecast that is reflective of California's decarbonization policies to support company-wide strategic, resource, procurement, financial, and grid planning purposes. As an Analytics Modelling and Forecasting Advisor, you will act as a consultant to corporate officers, department and division management, and organizations across the company in the areas related to customer distributed generation resources (DERs) for both bulk system and local distribution planning purposes. You will be primarily responsible for researching and developing analysis and forecasts for future building electrification load growth and customer demand response load impact over the next 10 to 30 years.
As an Analytics Modelling and Forecasting Advisor, your work will help power our planet, reduce carbon emission and create cleaner air for everyone. Are you ready to take on the challenge to help us build the future?
A day in the life - Get ready to think big, work smart and shine bright!
- Develops, tests, maintains, and expands quantitative forecasting, modeling, and analysis tools to predict customers' choices for adopting different types of technologies including building electrification (e.g. electric water heaters) and demand responses. In addition, analyzes and models the hourly load profiles for each technology to assess the associated load impact on electric grid at both bulk system and distribution levels.
- Directs or performs analytical tasks associated with a critical analytical project or a number of small projects with many complex features. Researches and develops new methods for various analytical projects which impact long-term customer demand and DER adoption forecast.
- Works with a small team of subject matter experts to develop granular or circuit level forecasts for different types of distributed energy resources (e.g. load modifying demand responses) in order to support SCE's distribution system planning analysis.
- May serve as an area expert and provide analytical support to various regulatory proceedings (e.g. Integrated Energy Policy Report, Integrated Resource Planning, Distribution Resource Planning, and Annual Load Impact Protocol etc.) including preparing draft testimony/workpapers and testifying in the special technical areas. May also serve as a strong advocate to collaborate with state regulatory entities and support the development of long-term forecast assumptions and methodologies for long-term planning purposes.
- Possesses advanced knowledge of various sources of data and resources available to access information in the special technical area. Accountable for the accuracy and integrity of findings and recommendations.
