Project Overview:

• The IT Project Manager role will support the execution of a variety of techncial solutions across multiple business units at NYPA.

Background:

• RSC Digitalization: As part of NYPA's continuous improvement in NERC Compliance systems, there are several projects occuring that are critical to continued business systems improvements. NYPA's ability to both maintain and improve its NERC compliance posture will be critical to both NYPA and the energy inductry.
• Internal Audit: The current Internal Audit (IA) strategy and processes could benefit from enhancements to improve our effectiveness and efficiency. The audit team is using tools and methodologies that require considerable manual effort, which can be time-consuming and may limit the thoroughness of audits. This impacts the overall quality of audit outcomes. Additionally, the IA department has an opportunity to modernize and align with technological advancements seen in other departments within the utility industry. By integrating innovative technologies, the audit team can enhance their capabilities, streamline tasks, and modernize the audit processes to keep pace with industry standards.
• Capacity Forecasting: NYPA currently operates a capacity price forecasting model that produces NYPA's proprietary long term capacity price forecast, which is reflected in NYPA's 10 year financial plan and utilized by various departments to inform NYPA's investment decisions and guide the implementation of NYPA's strategy. NYPA's capacity price forecasting model was developed in-house and is currently Excel based. Being Excel based limits the flexibility of the model and introduces operational risk. This project is a collaboration with IT to explore and implement a more robust solution, likely involving a database with a computational engine.
