Talen Energy Appoints Stacey L. Peterson Vice President and Treasurer

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, March 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Talen Energy Corporation today announced the appointment of Stacey L. Peterson as Vice President and Treasurer.  Ms. Peterson will join Talen Energy on April 16, 2018 from Calpine Corporation, and will report to Alex Hernandez, the company's Chief Financial Officer.

"Stacey is an experienced finance executive with deep knowledge of our sector and a proven track record, and she will strengthen the capabilities of our management team," said Mr. Hernandez. "Stacey will make a significant impact at Talen as we continue to drive the company's operational and financial performance."

Ms. Peterson will succeed Mr. Russ Clelland, Talen's retiring Treasurer, following an orderly transition period during the second quarter.  As part of this transition, Ms. Peterson will assume the role as Co-Chair of the company's nuclear decommissioning trust fund and retirement plan committees, overseeing approximately $2.5 billion of invested assets.  Mr. Clelland will remain a member of the retirement plan committee.

"I would like to thank Mr. Russ Clelland, our current Treasurer who is retiring after more than 40 years of distinguished service to Talen and its predecessor companies.   Russ was a critical contributor in reshaping the Talen balance sheet during 2017 following our take-private transaction with Riverstone.  He will be missed by our colleagues, banks, and investors."
