PRIMARY PURPOSE OF POSITION

Assist in the development, delivery, and management of energy efficiency programs as part of the state utility commission approved energy efficiency portfolio to ensure cost recovery and minimize performance risk. Help develop the strategic direction of the utility energy efficiency, demand response, and electrification programs and utilize evaluation results to better inform future programming. Manage the process for awarding contracts to subcontractors or vendors who deliver evaluation, measurement, and verification services as well as potential and goal setting studies. Work closely with data tracking systems to ensure accurate calculation of program data for reporting purposes. Position may be required to work extended hours for coverage during storms or other energy delivery emergencies.

PRIMARY DUTIES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Work with energy efficiency, demand response, and decarbonization program teams and data team to review and ensure accurate data and calculations are provided for regulatory reporting (20%)
• Liaison with third-party and independent evaluators and program teams to support transparent and communicative evaluation, measurement, and verification (EM&V) processes. Supportive tasks will likely include collaborating with evaluators on making updates to the State or Jurisdiction Technical Resource Manual (TRM), providing insights or inputs to updated cost effectiveness assumptions, reviewing of third-party evaluator presentations and reports, as well as review of EM&V plans and help guiding the execution of EM&V deliverables (25%)
• Support working groups by representing the Company and communicate any changes or updates to program teams (15%)
