Freeman to head DWP
On September 2, S. David Freeman became the new general manager of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Committee board members plan to meet with Freeman soon to discuss Mono Lake. In the meantime, the following news comes from DWP press releases:
David Freeman has had a distinguished career in electric and water utility management, and he is known for his pioneering work in energy conservation. At the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, where he served as general manager from 1990–1994, Freeman initiated the nation’s most intensive utility conservation program.
Prior to that, Freeman canceled or halted construction of eight unnecessary nuclear power plants at the Tennessee Valley Authority. He also launched a $1 billion air pollution mitigation effort and established an energy efficiency program that reached more than one million homes. Freeman responded to his selection as general manager by saying, "I can think of no other challenge I would rather tackle. I am excited at the prospect of DWP becoming the most competitive, customer-oriented utility in the nation."
