Illinois Power Agency

Supply Analyst

 

The Illinois Power Agency is an independent State Agency created in 2007 to develop annual electricity procurement plans and renewable resources procurement plans and to procure adequate, reliable, affordable, efficient, and environmentally sustainable electric service for the default supply customers of Illinois electric utilities. As a leading innovator in state clean energy policy, the Illinois Power Agency is on the forefront of designing policies that not only increase the deployment of renewable energy, but do so in a way that protects consumers, prioritizes access for low- and moderate-income households, and ensures equitable distribution of the economic benefits of the clean energy transition.  

 

The IPA is responsible for two foundational efforts – the administration of procurements and programs to support the advancement of the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standard and the planning and procurement of electric supply for those utility customers who have chosen not to select an alternative electric supplier.  For more information about the Illinois Power Agency, please refer to: https://ipa.illinois.gov

 

The Agency is seeking an experienced Supply Analyst to support the Agency’s work managing and analyzing wholesale electric and renewable energy markets.  As a member of the IPA’s Planning and Procurement team, the Supply Analyst will focus on an array of wholesale electric and clean energy/renewable energy market initiatives, including:

 

  • Analysis of wholesale energy, capacity, ancillary and other associated markets;
  • Tracking and reporting on RTO/ISO and related association committees and subcommittee happenings, including wholesale market developments, clean energy and renewable energy development activities, and transmission planning activities;
  • Tracking and modeling Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) procurement progress and associated revenues and expenditures;
  • Supporting the development of the Agency’s renewable energy and electricity procurement plans;
  • Assessing the outcomes of the electricity and utility-scale renewable energy procurement events;
  • Conduct electricity and renewable energy market research and draft associated memos and whitepapers communicating the results of the research and potential impacts or opportunities identified;
  • Assessing the quality of data analysis and information used for procurement planning and renewable energy program implementation; and,
  • Prepare various reports, filings, and notices.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working with internal and external stakeholders to gain an in-depth understanding market processes and activities, stakeholder positions, and of the IPA’s processes and objectives. The candidate will be an active member of a dynamic and highly talented team that is focused on making a significant impact on the effectiveness of the IPA’s operations that lead to the development of new renewable energy resources and the provision of default service rate options.
