Full Text of JOE Listing:

ISO New England is a non-profit organization that designs and runs the centralized $10+ billion marketplace for electricity in New England and oversees the region’s power grid. The marketplace is constantly evolving as novel economic issues and technologies emerge that are reshaping our energy future.

Our economists develop and advance recommendations to promote market efficiency, leverage new technologies, and enhance the market design to support a clean energy transition. We work in a positive, collaborative team environment, employ theory and data, and draw from a wide range of theoretical and empirical microeconomic fields related to public policy, industrial organization, and market design. Given the diversity of topics we handle, backgrounds in energy economics are not required.

With the diversity of markets and products transacted, their importance to our energy and environmental future, and their rapid rate of technological innovation, there is no shortage of interesting economic questions for which our answers have significant real-world impacts – guiding how billions of dollars of capital will be deployed to meet future energy demand.

ISO New England provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or genetics.
