Power Markets Analyst
About The Position
Paces is building the development engine for renewable infrastructure and power projects. Our Agentic AI automates early-stage due diligence and combines it with in-house expertise to accelerate late-stage diligence. The result: projects move from siting to construction-ready in a fraction of the time. Our platform streamlines siting, interconnection, and permitting for renewable energy and data center developers, real estate firms, EV charging companies, and more. We are looking for a Power Markets Analyst to join our Solutions Engineering team, reporting directly to the Head of Solutions.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in power market analytics, nodal modeling, congestion analysis, or production cost modeling at an ISO/RTO, utility, IPP, developer, trading firm, or consultancy.
- Hands-on experience configuring and running production cost models (PROBE, PLEXOS, PROMOD, Aurora, DAYZER, or similar). You have built and debugged models, not only interpreted outputs.
- Strong understanding of ISO/RTO market mechanics: LMP formation, SCUC/SCED, constraint binding, shadow prices, shift factors, flowgate definitions.
- Experience working with large market datasets — historical LMPs, binding constraint records, transmission outage data — and applying them to congestion or curtailment analysis.
- Proficiency in Python, SQL, or equivalent tools for data processing and analysis.
Nice To Haves
- Experience analyzing curtailment risk, basis risk, or congestion exposure for BESS, solar, or large load (datacenter) projects.
- Familiarity with PowerGEM tools (TARA, PROBE) or Yes Energy data products.
- Involvement in FERC proceedings, RTO stakeholder processes, or interconnection policy work.
Responsibilities
- Define and execute the methodology for new market-informed interconnection study products that extend our existing power flow analysis into congestion, curtailment, and dispatch economics
- Build and own the market data infrastructure — onboard vendor data, build pipelines for constraint binding histories, LMP decomposition, and outage records, and maintain datasets across target ISO markets
- Connect transmission planning results to market outcomes by mapping power flow violations and shift factors to real-world constraint binding patterns and congestion pricing
- Configure, run, and validate production cost models to simulate nodal market outcomes across PJM, ERCOT, MISO, and other target markets
- Work directly with product, power engineers, and software engineers to translate domain expertise into automated, repeatable analysis
- Act as the internal authority on how ISO markets clear and how market data should inform our interconnection products
Benefits
- Competitive equity compensation
- 401(k) match
- Health, dental and vision insurance
- Paid company holidays & PTO
