John Simonelli

After 40 years in the industry which included time spent in Transmission System Planning, Bulk Power System Operations and, Wholesale Electric Market Operations, I have retired from ISO New England and struck out on my own as a consultant. While I miss working at the ISO, I'm excited about a whole new role going forward.

Over my career I have also served as Chairman, Vice-chairman or Member of many NERC, NAESB, NPCC and other ad hoc industry groups. I served as the chairman of the NERC System Analysis and Modeling Sub-Committee (SAMS), a Core Team Member of the North American Transmission Forum (NATF) System Modeling Group and, chairman of the Essential Reliability Services Working Group Voltage and Reactive sub-group (ERSWG).

Specialties: Operating and planning of a bulk electric power system.
