The exact location will be determined at the time of offer based on business needs. Duke Energy and the energy industry as are embarking on an energy transition that will fundamentally change energy generation and consumption. During this energy transition, the Duke will continue to operate and maintain current generation assets such as natural gas, nuclear, and solar, but will integrate newer resources such as lithium ion and long duration energy storage, hydrogen generation, SMR's and offshore wind into its generation portfolio. Part of this growing portfolio of capacity resources can reside at customer premises at the edge of the grid. As technology continues to evolve, leveraging technologies such as smart thermostats, hot water heaters, pool pumps, residential energy storage, vehicle to grid (V2G) and managing EV charging can provide additional capacity at the edge of the grid. To achieve this goal, we are looking for a Product Manager who is experienced in Transmission or Distribution system or grid operations to help develop and execute grid edge customer-facing pilots. This individual will be accountable and responsible for structuring Grid Edge Pilots from inception, creating pilot execution plans and determining success criteria. The analysis and evaluation of such pilots will inform the broader Energy Orchestration and Grid Edge supporting teams on requirements for an enterprise-wide Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) platform. Additionally, this individual will be responsible for utilizing pilots to evaluate impacted operations processes & procedures, collaborate to develop implementation strategies, execute change management plans, and conduct technical training. The Product Manger defines, delivers, and manages the lifecycle of pilots within their portfolio.

This location is a desirable location for Duke Energy to pursue a controllable load shaping pilot in support of Grid Edge strategic objectives. Our vision is to lead Duke Energy in shaping the future role of Behind- The- Meter (BTM) assets. This initiative aims to establish a real-world testbed to efficiently orchestrate customer owned BTM assets for load shaping, contributing to carbon reduction goals, and addressing grid constraints due to electrification. The initiative aims to expand BTM asset availability, enhance flexibility, and support the evolution of operational and business models.
