- Support the development of fundamental outlooks as shaped by transmission understanding in the near and long term.
- Monitor changes in power markets by following regulatory developments and participating in ISO interested party meetings.
- Identify trade strategies for the CRR / FTR auctions.
- Work collaboratively across regions sharing research, tools, and best practices
- Build strong partnerships with traders and technology to implement robust, scalable, production-ready solutions.
