Caitlin Liotiris is a Principal at Energy Strategies and a leading voice in shaping Western wholesale electricity markets and regional policy. With more than 15 years at the forefront of market design, policy, and advocacy, she drives strategies that help generation developers, states, utilities, and trade associations navigate — and influence — a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

 Caitlin spearheads Energy Strategies’ market development and advocacy efforts, helping clients evaluate regional market participation options, navigate energy procurement, and translate new policies into actionable market strategies. She has played a leading role in landmark initiatives such as the “State-Led Market Study,” which united Western states in a neutral forum to assess market options, and was instrumental in a recent transmission cost allocation study that informed policy discussions across the region.

 From the earliest days of developing the Western Energy Imbalance Market to today’s high-stakes debates over CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market and SPP’s Markets+ expansion, Caitlin has shaped policy discussions that define how power flows across the West. Her expertise spans renewable integration, clean energy compliance, and market fundamentals — pairing deep technical skills with a big-picture policy perspective.

 An active leader in regional market forums, Caitlin has served on the WECC Standards Committee, the Peak Reliability Member Advisory Committee, and currently contributes to Markets+ Transmission and Seams Working Groups. Since joining Energy Strategies in 2006, she has built a career bridging technical analysis and strategic advocacy to help clients succeed in a transforming grid and improving market outcomes in the West.
