About Us :

The Ohio Consumers' Counsel advocates and educates to secure for Ohioans affordable, reliable, and equitable residential utility services that are essential to their well-being.

The Office of the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel, the State’s voice for millions of Ohio residential utility consumers, seeks an employee with a passion for public service to serve as Senior Regulatory Analyst in the Analytical Department.

This position is an opportunity to help consumers, including at-risk and low-income Ohioans, regarding their electric, natural gas, telephone, and water utility services.

Since the legislature created the agency in 1976, we have sought lower utility bills and reliable utility service for residential consumers.

We currently offer a hybrid work environment.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities :

• Analyze and dissect complex economic issues in utility filings.
• Deep dive into revenue requirements, including rate base, O&M, depreciation, and taxes.
• Assess the impact of proposed rate changes on consumer bills.
• Represent OCC as a witness in regulatory proceedings (standard rate cases, alternative ratemaking, grid modernization, capex riders, etc.).
• Leverage your financial expertise to analyze financial statements and return on equity models (, CAPM, DCF).
• Utilize industry-leading market intelligence platforms to stay ahead of trends (S&P Global).
• Collaborate with PUCO, utilities, and consumer advocates to reach fair settlements.
• Become familiar with PJM energy and capacity markets including standard service offers (SSO / SCO) auctions.
• Manage and improve a database of historical tariffs.
• Assist in crafting public comments and legal discovery requests.
• Build strong relationships with regulators and advocate for consumer interests.
