  • Collaborate with regulatory bodies to ensure compliance with pricing guidelines.

Generative AI Development:

  • Explore generative AI techniques (e.g., GANs, VAEs) for creating synthetic data.
  • Develop predictive models to simulate load profiles, energy demand, outage probabilities, or generate synthetic sensor data.
  • Collaborate with engineers to implement and deploy generative models.
