Analyst: Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Planning and Deployment - PUBLIC UTILITIES REGULATORY ANALYST II - JC-407435

As the State agency that regulates investor owned electric utilities, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) plays an integral part in the achievement of the State's goals of transforming the transportation sector to zero-emission vehicles. Planning for the electric infrastructure needed for transportation electrification over the next 20 years will be challenging because it will require balancing the needs of the transportation sector versus the electric sector’s needs (e.g., reliability of electric service, affordability of rate, air quality, climate adaptation, equity, and resiliency).

 

Under the guidance of senior analysts and direction from the Project and Program Supervisor, the analyst will support transportation electrification charging infrastructure planning and deployment activities, including vehicle-to-grid integration technology and policy, load management and rates, program oversight, reporting and research, and assessment of infrastructure needs. In this role, the analyst will assist high-level decision-makers such as Commissioners, Judges, and Energy Division management.

 

Other responsibilities include verifying compliance with proceedings, CPUC rules and policies, reviewing and analyzing compliance filings, and preparing appropriate dispositions. The analyst will assist with workshops, meet and collaborate with utilities and other stakeholders. The analyst will perform other work as necessary, such as writing and presenting reports, coordinating with other California organizations and agencies (e.g., the California Energy Commission, the California Air Resources Board, California Independent System Operator), management of consulting contracts, and responding to general inquiries.
