Position Summary
The CPS Energy Internship Program is designed to meet the industry’s rapidly changing workforce needs by providing local San Antonio college students with public utility career experience. Through the internship program students are paired with a mentor to acquire meaningful hands-on experience that expands their understanding of how the industry works and exposes them to essential skills they must acquire or develop to be successful. The internship is not only meant for the intern to learn how to perform, but to also understand the rationale behind the strategies that are being used.
As an intern within Market Operations, you will gain experience on forecasting the weather. More importantly, see how those forecasts are implemented into day to day and future operations for the San Antonio area and multiple locations within Texas.
A majority of the internship will deal with working with various stakeholders to look at location specific data. This includes researching historical trends of weather and energy load used. These correlations could potentially help develop new processes with load forecasting.
Other potential projects looking at historical storm/lightning data that could assist System Operations with preparation of crews and staffing needs with regards to potential outages.
