The Transmission Strategy team is responsible for setting a transmission focused market-wide strategy in all Continental U.S. energy markets, and integrating that strategy with Development, Commercial, Execution, and other strategic inputs throughout AES. This strategy will be applied to prioritizing our greenfield efforts, project and pileline acquisition efforts, and our existing project pipeline. The Transmission Strategy team is also responsible for project specific assessment of network impacts, and deliverability risks and opportunities. This function is critical through all stages of development, from greenfield prospecting through late-stage interconnection studies and agreement execution.
The Transmission Strategy team relies on traditional transmission planning and load flow analysis, while also pioneering innovative approaches to anticipate transmission network opportunities and risks.
The Transmission Strategy team is comprised of talented regional transmission planning experts. The team relies on a mix of conducting in-house and consultant-supported load flow studies.
You would lead and grow this team, to position both this team and AES to continue our role as an industry leader in accelerating the future of energy.
