To all EV enthusiasts in the Northern California community:
It is with deep sadness that I inform you that I am moving back down to Southern California. As you may know, I’ve been training here at the California ISO in Folsom. Now that I have completed the course to become a NERC certified grid operator, I have been assigned a position at our satellite office near Pasadena. While short term this does affect my ability to be near the EV “Mecca” that is the bay area; it is by no means permanent. Openings at our main facility do happen from time to time, and I intend to return.
Over the last seven months that I have been up here, I have met many wonderful electric vehicle enthusiasts. I’ve developed great friendships with those I had only conversed with online before. The Sacramento meet ups have been a great way to facilitate meeting many of you in person. Northern California’s budding quick charge network has been exciting to use, and I am one of only a few people in the area that have consistently done 300+ miles in a day in a Leaf.
It is my career goal to help link renewable energy to electric vehicles. My time spent as an operator will help me achieve my goals by teaching me the challenges and nuances of operating the power grid with large amounts of renewable energy sources. Ultimately, electric vehicles will be an asset to the grid due to demand response, vehicle to grid, and increasing nighttime load. As adoption picks up in the next few years, electric vehicle charging will be a load too strong to ignore, and I will be right there as an expert in the industry.
I will be at the next San Francisco Bay Leafs meeting on the 9th. I will also be attending the Sacramento meeting in Elk Grove on the 16th. My moving date is not finalized yet, and I will try to attend all events that I can before I have to leave.
Take care,
Jeremy
