<p>The more than 200-plus member staff of the California Public Utilities Commission's Energy Division administer the policies that guide California’s nation-leading efforts in reliability, energy efficiency, customer-side energy generation, renewable energy, and the fight against climate change. The Energy Division provides objective and expert analyses that promote reliable, safe and environmentally sound energy services at lowest reasonable rates for the people of California.</p>
<p>The Energy Division provides technical support to the Commissioners and their offices, and the Administrative Law Judges. The Energy Division drafts resolutions for formal consideration by the Commission. Resolutions generally result from informal utility requests called Advice Letters, which are submitted by utilities to request rate and tariff adjustments.</p>
<p>The Energy Division through its Federal Policy and Ratemaking Section represents the Commission in Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and court proceedings.</p>
<p>The Energy Division assists the Commission in its regulation of four types of Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs): Electric, Natural Gas, Steam and Petroleum Pipeline Companies. Commission-approved tariffs (official rates and terms of service) for these four types of IOUs are maintained by the Energy Division.</p>

<p><strong>Energy Division/ Distribution Planning Branch/ Grid Planning, Energy Storage and Non-Wires Alternatives:</strong></p>
<div>The Energy Division is seeking an experienced senior-level analyst to oversee the implementation of the Commission&rsquo;s data access policies. Customer energy usage data, and access to that data by non-utility entities, is a growing issue that impacts several programs and initiatives that the Commission oversees. This is a high visibility position that will require briefing Commissioners and advisors and working closely with other Energy Division staff, interested parties and consultants, if hired for technical support.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Under the general direction of the program and project supervisor, the individual filling this PURA V position will support Commission policies concerning non-utility access to customer energy usage data and other personally identifiable information. Specifically, the incumbent will be the lead analyst to resolve customer data privacy and access issues. This includes oversight of utility provision of customer data/information to third parties who seek such information either for individual customers or in aggregate. These third parties include government agencies, academic institutions, Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) and entities that are known as &lsquo;distributed energy resources&rdquo; or &ldquo;DER&rdquo; providers who need the data to implement customer demand-side programs. The incumbent would also be responsible for overseeing utility data access mechanisms or portals for third parties to ensure that they are operating as intended. To the extent the Commission modifies its data access policies, the incumbent would be the lead analyst for those efforts. The incumbent may also be responsible for representing the Division in California Independent System Operator or California Energy Commission stakeholder processes where customer usage data is a relevant issue. The incumbent could also serve as a resource on other data issues such as improving standardization and efficiency in Energy Division&rsquo;s processes of collecting, storing and displaying data it receives from the utilities.</div>

Senior Data Analyst - PUBLIC UTILITIES REGULATORY ANALYST V - JC-409977

<p><strong>Energy Division/ Distribution Planning Branch/ Transportation Electrification Section:</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>
<div>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&rsquo;s needs (e.g., reliability of electric service, affordability of rate, air quality, climate adaptation, equity, and resiliency).</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>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.</div>
