- Load Forecasting
- 23 Technical Positions
- Including 5 Engineers in Training (EITs)
🎯 Direct Impact on Energy Delivery Engineering
Minimal Direct Impact: Your team's functions are NOT transferring to NSIESO. Distribution engineering, project delivery, and asset management remain with NSPI. Day-to-day operations largely unaffected in Phase 1.
Independent Planning
NSPI no longer controls system planning decisions - NSIESO will determine resource needs independently
Competitive Procurement
New generation resources acquired through competitive RFPs rather than NSPI proposals
Coordination Required
New protocols needed between NSPI Engineering and NSIESO for system studies and planning
Cost Transfer
Functions already funded through NSPI rates - represents cost movement, not increase
Discussion Topics
- How will coordination work between Energy Delivery Engineering and NSIESO planning?
- What system data and planning information will need to be shared with NSIESO?
- How will transmission projects align with NSIESO's independent system planning?
- What role will NSPI engineering have in NSIESO's resource planning processes?
- Are there secondary impacts on remaining NSPI engineering staffing or workload?
