Interconnection Analyst

Application Preparation and Coordination

Technical Analysis and Strategy Development

As an Interconnection Analyst, you will navigate the technical and regulatory aspects of utility interconnection for renewable energy and energy storage projects. Leveraging 4–8 years of experience in interconnection processes, you will prepare and review interconnection packages, analyse utility and regulatory guidelines (FERC, PJM, NYISO, SPP, ERCOT), and evaluate transmission and distribution tariffs, costs, and timelines. This role focuses on supporting both front-of-the-meter (FTM) and behind-the-meter (BTM) projects across RTO regions while optimizing strategies for grid integration and state incentive programs.

• Foster collaboration by facilitating the exchange of technical information across engineering, development, and legal teams.
• Serve as the primary technical lead and point of contact with ISOs, RTOs, utilities, and transmission service providers for interconnection activities.
• Understand and manage interconnection requirements, processes, timelines, and tariff rules across relevant RTOs/ISOs.
• Collaborate with engineering and development teams to ensure timely application submissions and strategy optimization.
• Conduct in-depth technical reviews of utility study reports and integrated resource plans (IRPs).
• Stay updated on utility, commission, and regulatory standards to ensure compliance.
• Contract and manage consultants for injection analysis, technical design, and other deliverables.
• Review and peer-audit engineering designs and technical data to support application completeness.
• Assist in responding to regulatory queries and ensuring alignment with technical requirements.
• Identify optimal interconnection strategies using system impact study reports and grid/hosting capacity insights.
• Evaluate interconnection system costs and recommend schedule adjustments aligned with project development timelines.
• Support negotiations of technical terms in interconnection agreements.
• Navigate, interpret, and apply utility documentation and policy frameworks, including guidelines from SPP, WECC, SERC, FERC, and CERC.
• Review and ensure compliance with utility and commission guidance documents.
• Navigate, interpret, and apply utility documentation and policy frameworks, including SERC, CERC, or international regulatory guidelines.
• Track and oversee interconnection studies, applications, and follow-up requirements for the project portfolio.
• Participate in team meetings and maintain regular communication with team members to align project objectives.
• Provide insights to inform project planning, future project opportunities, and technical strategies.
• Coordinate applications with internal teams, consultants, utilities, and external stakeholders.
• Provide interconnection expertise for site selection, bid proposals, project financing, and project handoffs to execution teams.
• Prepare, review, and validate interconnection packages to ensure accuracy and compliance with regulatory requirements.
• Analyse interconnection results, interpret study reports, and provide actionable technical recommendations.

Minimum 4+ years of experience with transmission and distribution planning, managing the interconnection of renewable energy power facilities, with experience in the ERCOT, PJM, NYISO, SouthEast, MISO and CAISO markets.

Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering (EE) is mandatory
