Ground every answer in facts on this page and the original listing. We never invent Glassdoor-style reviews or salaries that are not in our data.
Be ready to walk through how you’d validate a generation model (inputs, outage rates, fuel prices, reserve margins) and explain a bad forecast to non-modelers. Expect utility context on SPS vs. other Xcel subsidiaries and on regulated planning cycles. Bring one example of reconciling model output with real plant or market data.
Strong fit if you like quantitative utility planning more than pure software or field engineering. On-site Denver role at a large regulated utility; SPS focus means multi-state generation economics, not only Colorado retail. Thin culture data—weight your own research beyond news headlines.
As a Generation Model Analyst supporting SPS (Southwestern Public Service), expect to build and maintain generation/resource models used for planning and operations across the SPS footprint, while coordinating with Colorado-based Xcel teams. Typical work: load and fuel assumptions, scenario runs, documenting model changes, and briefing planners or traders on results—not field operations.
