Interconnection, Grid & Power Systems Principal

Position Overview

Enertis Applus is expanding its interconnection advisory and grid strategy capabilities and seeks a senior Interconnection, Grid & Power Systems Principal / Subject Matter Expert (SME) to serve as the firm’s primary technical authority and external-facing advisor on grid integration for utility-scale generation, large electrical loads (including data centers), hybrid power systems, and multi-technology microgrids.

This role anchors Enertis Applus’ credibility with utilities, ISOs/RTOs, lenders, investors, developers, and large power users, shaping how interconnection risk, grid compliance, reliability, and power-system architecture are evaluated, mitigated, and communicated across development, financing, and execution.

The SME defines Enertis Applus’ technical philosophy for grid integration across both supply-side and demand-side projects, translating evolving regulatory, reliability, and market requirements into defensible, bankable guidance for clients and internal teams.

Advise clients on interconnection feasibility, queue and study risk, cost exposure, schedule drivers, and mitigation strategies for both generation and large-load interconnections

Provide guidance on grid integration of co-located generation and load, islandable microgrids, and multi-technology power systems combining renewable, storage, thermal, and backup generation assets

Support clients evaluating dedicated generation supply for data centers, private transmission solutions, or hybrid grid/behind-the-meter configurations

Market, Standards & Reliability Leadership

Monitor and interpret evolving ISO/RTO rules, NERC requirements, IEEE standards, and utility criteria impacting renewable interconnection as well as large load integration and reliability requirements for critical infrastructure

Track implications of standards such as IEEE 1547/2800, NERC reliability frameworks, large-load connection requirements, and emerging reliability standards tied to high-density electrical deman

Serve as internal authority on grid reliability and system stability considerations for high-impact load clusters and hybrid generation-load systems

Thought Leadership & External Representation

Represent Enertis Applus as a recognized authority on grid integration of renewable generation, storage, and emerging high-density loads such as data centers

Author whitepapers and advisories on grid capacity constraints, transmission access strategies, and evolving power-system architectures driven by electrification and digital infrastructure gr
