Himali Parmar

Vice President, Energy Markets

Himali has 20 years of experience in power systems analysis and modeling.

Himali is an expert in energy diversification, interconnection assessments, production cost modeling, forecasting transmission congestion and losses, and their effect on locational power prices and asset valuation. Himali and her team have delivered market and transmission due diligence support for approximately 30 gigawatts (GW ) of energy resource diversification projects over the last two years. She regularly provides financing and lending agencies with an independent and unbiased view of the future market and grid conditions and the economic viability of individual assets. Himali closely follows interconnection and transmission issues and proposed transmission plans across various power markets, performs independent assessments of reliability issues on the grid, and identifies mitigation plans to alleviate those issues.

Himali is proficient in load flow simulation tools such as Power World, GE PSLF, PowerGem, and production cost modeling tools such as GE’s MAPS and ABB’s PROMOD models. Himali previously worked as a planning engineer at American Transmission Company, WI and developed short- and long-term transmission system plans for the company.
