About the Role

The Senior Engineer, System Planning will support the development and implementation of advanced distribution planning solutions across Eversource’s electric system. This role combines traditional distribution planning analysis with emerging grid technologies, customer-side resources, and advanced operational strategies. The engineer will translate identified system needs into actionable alternative solutions and will report to the Manager of Integrated Energy Planning.

Responsibilities

Conduct Non-Wires Alternatives (NWAs) evaluations for all major capital projects.
Write filing petitions and answer information requests by state regulators.
Appear as a witness for the Company in proceedings.
Assist in developing and updating Non-Wires Alternative standards, documentation, tools and processes.
Support the Company’s VPP effort by identifying capital projects suitable for long-term deferral through VPP development.
Act as a central coordinator within System Planning for Flexible Interconnection policies, procedures, and related regulatory filings.
Screen major distribution system needs and capital projects for potential NWA opportunities.
Perform detailed technical evaluations of NWA solutions, including energy efficiency, demand response, distributed generation, battery storage, managed EV charging, and other DER solutions.
Determine the magnitude, duration, timing, location, and reliability characteristics of the system need that an NWA must address.
Develop technical performance requirements for NWA solicitations and evaluate proposed solutions against traditional infrastructure alternatives.
Support cost, risk, reliability, implementation-timeline, and operational assessments of NWA portfolios.
Lead alternative evaluations for petition filings and represent the Company as key technical witness.
Identify geographic areas where aggregations of customer DERs could provide meaningful distribution-system value.
Analyze system needs and determine the type, quantity, location, availability, and duration of DER flexibility required.
Work with Energy Efficiency and other teams to identify potential VPP resources including batteries, EVs, thermostatically controlled loads, solar-plus-storage, and other dispatchable resources.
Support development of VPP pilots and programs designed to test distribution-level grid services and operational use cases.
Coordinate Flexible Interconnection Efforts across the three jurisdictions, supporting the respective managers and lead engineers.
Provide engineering support for flexible interconnection strategies and evaluate their potential application to NTA/NWA and VPP solutions.
Support development and refinement of flexible-interconnection planning criteria, methodologies, and technical standards.
Serve as a technical subject-matter expert on emerging distribution planning solutions.
Lead or support multidisciplinary teams involving Planning, Operations, Engineering, IT/OT, Grid Modernization, Regulatory, Customer Programs, and DER organizations.
Communicate complex engineering analyses clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
Support regulatory proceedings, stakeholder processes, and responses to information requests related to NWAs, flexible interconnection, VPPs, and advanced system planning.
Monitor industry developments and incorporate relevant utility best practices, standards, technologies, and analytical approaches.
