Southern California Edison is looking for two Energy Policy & Pricing Analysts as part of SCE’s Recent Graduate program.  These positions will be in the analytics group within the Regulatory Policy organization.

Become an Energy Policy & Pricing Analyst at Southern California Edison (SCE) and shape our clean energy future. In this role, you’ll provide analytical support that informs SCE’s efforts to advance energy policy and develop customer programs that support California’s decarbonization and clean energy goals.  Specifically, you’ll explore and develop analysis on how SCE designs electricity rates in ways that:

  • Consider the diverse characteristics of our customers;
  • Equitably recover the cost of providing service to our customers;
  • Ensure our customers have access to affordable electricity to meet their basic needs; and
  • Incentivize customers to make efficient decisions about their consumption of electricity and adoption of existing and emerging clean energy technologies (i.e. electric vehicles, distributed energy resources, microgrids, and building electrification).

As an Energy Policy & Pricing Analyst your work will help integrate clean energy, reduce carbon emissions, mitigate climate change risks, and create cleaner air for everyone. Are you ready to take on the challenge to help us build the future?

A day in the life – Get ready to think big, work smart, and shine bright!

  • Apply strong critical thinking, problem solving, and technical knowledge to challenge business assumptions and develop new methods, models, and analyses that inform SCE’s energy policy, retail pricing, and customer programs.
  • Apply a continuous learning mindset and customer-centric approach to synthesize large datasets and analyses into insights that inform SCE’s energy policy, retail pricing, and customer programs.
  • Establish scalable, efficient, user-centric, and automated processes for large scale data analyses to support business processes and decision-making.
  • Pricing Insights & Perspectives: Develop research and analysis on various dimensions of utility ratemaking and pricing strategy, which will be used to create a series of connected narratives and principles to engage a broad set of internal and external audiences.
  • Problem Solving & Decision Support: Support cross-functional teams across the company to resolve complex issues that typically require verbal, written, and visual communication with proposed recommendations presented to leadership in a simple, logical, and succinct manner.
