San Francisco-based Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E) has appointed John T. Conway to head the utility's newly created energy supply organization. Conway now leads PG&E's previously separate power generation and power procurement functions as senior vice president of energy supply and chief nuclear officer. Most recently, he served as PG&E's senior vice president of generation and chief nuclear officer.
Within the new organization, Fong Wan, senior vice president of energy procurement, will continue to be responsible for managing PG&E's diverse portfolio of power and natural-gas supply.
Recognizing the growing significance of renewable energy in the company's supply mix, PG&E also appointed Steven E. Malnight, vice president of renewable energy, to oversee the company's overall renewable strategy and public-policy initiatives. Malnight will also be responsible for the development of PG&E's emerging utility-owned renewable business. This newly created position will report to Wan.
‘We are fully committed to increasing the supplies of renewable energy available for our customers,’ says Peter A. Darbee, chairman, CEO and president of PG&E Corp. ‘Creating this new position strengthens our renewables team and reflects the important role these initiatives will play in providing our customers with renewable energy in the future.’
Malnight joined PG&E in 2002 as a member of the company's MBA leadership program. Since then, he has held leadership roles at the director level in the company's customer care and finance functions.
