Bill Levis Announces Plan To Retire As President, COO, PSEG Power

NEWARK, N.J., Dec. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- PSEG today announced that Bill Levis has informed the company of his intention to retire as president and COO of PSEG Power effective in the third quarter of 2017.  He is also a member of PSEG's Executive Officer Group (EOG).

"Bill's leadership at Power occurred during a time when the industry faced tremendous challenges.  I have greatly valued his counsel during these past 10 years," said Ralph Izzo, chairman, president and CEO, PSEG. "I, along with the rest of the company, thank him and wish him well in his retirement."

Levis joined PSEG in 2007 after having worked at Exelon in nuclear operations and before that held positions with Ontario Hydro and Carolina Power and Light.  He graduated from the Naval Academy and retired from the Navy reserve as a commander. 

Levis has served on the executive committee of the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), on the board of directors of the Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL) and as a member of the Institute of Nuclear Power operators (INPO).  Levis is also active in several community groups including the Philadelphia Archdiocese Catholic Charities Appeal and the CEO Council for Growth, based in Philadelphia.

PSEG's existing succession planning process will provide for the orderly transition of Levis' roles and responsibilities in connection with his retirement, and PSEG has indicated that they will not be making any announcements until closer to Levis' retirement date.
