Job Description and Duties

If you are an energy professional who wants to contribute to the State of California's ambitious clean energy and climate goals, then the California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) Energy Division is the right place for you. The Division provides policy and technical expertise to the Commission on all energy issues and in support of the Commission's objectives for clean energy, reasonable rates and safe and reliable energy services. The Division's oversight is comprehensive, covering demand side topics such as energy efficiency, customer generation and demand response, as well as long term procurement planning, reliability, retail energy markets and grid infrastructure. Under general direction of the Project and Program Supervisor, the analyst will advise and assist senior analysts in providing information to high-level decision-makers such as Commissioners, Judges, and Energy Division management. The analyst will support natural gas transmission, storage and distribution systems rates and costs proceedings and projects. The analyst will conduct analysis of regulatory, ratemaking, and policy issues in the California Public Utilities Commission's natural gas ratemaking proceedings and make recommendations based on independent analysis of regulatory, policy and technical issues. Under the guidance of senior analysts and direction from the supervisor, the analyst will develop analysis for and make recommendations regarding the CPUC's policy-setting rulemaking via a wide range of work products, review and provide feedback on proposed legislative bills, and/or oversee implementation of programs that result from these CPUC and legislative processes. The analyst will verify compliance with ratemaking proceedings, CPUC rules and policies, review and analyze advice letters, and prepare appropriate dispositions. The analyst will assist with workshops, meet and collaborate with utilities and other stakeholders. The analyst will assist with the review of utility costs accounts for reasonableness, and identify considerations and solutions related to various policy proposals and/or issues, including rates, social equity and environmental justice. 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), and responding to external inquiries.
