Regulatory Analyst, Wholesale Market Policy

LS Power Development, LLC • New York, NY

4d • $80,000 - $100,000

About The Position

We're looking for a regulatory analyst to join a small, high-impact team covering wholesale electricity markets across North America. This is an opportunity to work directly with senior leadership on issues that shape investment decisions and commercial strategy.
This isn't traditional regulatory compliance work. The core of this role is translating policy directions and regulatory proposals into business insights. When an RTO proposes a market rule change or FERC signals a policy shift, we need someone who can think through the implications, consider which assets and investments might be affected, and help the team understand what's at stake. Over time, you'll develop expertise that sits at the intersection of policy, markets, and business strategy—and the analytical toolkit to make that expertise actionable.
The role is deeply cross-functional. You'll work regularly with our asset management and energy trading teams to ensure regulatory intelligence informs commercial decisions and that operational insights shape our policy positions. Success requires building strong working relationships across the organization and learning to translate between regulatory complexity and business application.
This is a growth position. The right candidate will take on increasing responsibility as they demonstrate judgment and develop relationships across the markets we cover.

Requirements

• You think analytically about policy—when you see a regulatory proposal, you're curious about what it means for different market participants
• You can read a FERC filing or stakeholder proposal and identify both the policy direction and the interests at play
• You communicate effectively across functions and are comfortable engaging with colleagues in trading, asset management, and development
• You write clearly and concisely; you can explain complex regulatory issues to colleagues who need to make decisions
• You're organized and self-directed; you can manage monitoring responsibilities across multiple markets without constant supervision
• You want to understand the "so what" behind every regulatory development
• Bachelor's degree required.
• 2-6 years of experience in wholesale electricity markets, energy policy, utility regulation, or related fields (consulting, RTO/ISO, regulatory agency, trade association, or industry experience all valued).
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Demonstrated interest in electricity market design, wholesale power economics, or energy infrastructure.
• Familiarity with RTO stakeholder processes and FERC proceedings.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with quantitative analysis, financial modeling, or other tools for evaluating business impacts.
• Relevant graduate work in economics, public policy, engineering, or law.
• Exposure to energy trading, asset management, or power plant operations.

Responsibilities

• Monitor stakeholder proceedings in Regional Transmission Organizations including PJM, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE, CAISO, and ERCOT.
• Synthesize technical filings and stakeholder discussions into clear assessments of business implications.
• Work with senior team members to analyze regulatory proposals and evaluate potential impacts on our portfolio, development pipeline, and investment opportunities.
• Collaborate with asset management and energy trading to provide regulatory context for commercial decisions and incorporate operational perspectives into policy analysis.
• Prepare internal briefings that connect regulatory developments to commercial and investment questions.
• Support the development of company positions and stakeholder engagement strategies.
• Coordinate with third-party consultants and translate their specialized expertise into actionable intelligence.
• Over time, develop frameworks and analytical approaches for evaluating how market rule changes affect asset economics and competitive positioning.

Benefits

• We provide our team the opportunity to share their unique perspectives, solve new challenges, and continue in their career growth.
• We are committed to supporting employees’ happiness, healthiness, and overall well-being by providing comprehensive benefits that include 100% employer paid premium healthcare, paid parental leave and more.
