Changes Reflect Its Gas-fired Generation Platform's Scale and Critical Role In Accelerating a Clean, Reliable, And Affordable Electric Grid

NEW YORK, April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LS Power today announced executive leadership changes designed to further align the company's efficient and flexible gas-fired generation fleet with its focus on accelerating the decarbonization of the U.S. energy sector and greater economy.

As part of this effort, Nathan Hanson was promoted to the new position of President, LS Power Generation. In this capacity, Hanson will oversee LS Power's 13,000 MW conventional generation fleet.

The following members of Hanson's team were also promoted to these roles:

"It's abundantly clear to people serious about decarbonizing the electric grid – in a manner that maintains reliability and affordability – that efficient, flexible gas-fired generation will be needed for the foreseeable future," said LS Power CEO Paul Segal.

"Our executive leadership announcements reflect the critically important role our generation fleet will play in the safe and reliable operation of a grid with massive renewables penetration. LS Power's quick-responding gas generation platform is well positioned to help accelerate the energy transition by managing the intermittency of weather dependent renewables such as wind and solar power," Segal said.

"Our team is focused on ensuring that the operations and commercial strategies across LS Power's fleet match the need to rapidly decarbonize the grid while keeping the lights on, and that wholesale power market policies recognize the vital service that certain conventional assets will play in the energy transition," Hanson said.

In addition to its flexible gas-fired generation platform, LS Power manages a growing family of clean energy businesses, which collectively are accelerating the energy transition. These clean energy investments include:

REV Renewables, an industry leader in the acquisition, development and operation of renewables and energy storage focused on decarbonizing electricity supply while maintaining affordability, reliability and resilience
