This includes a balanced mix of coal, natural gas, nuclear, and renewable energy from wind and solar. These investments position Kirkwood Electric as a leader in sustainable, community-driven energy management.

The Director manages an annual operating budget of approximately $35 million, directs departmental personnel, and works collaboratively with other City departments to advance organizational goals and provide exceptional service to the community. Responsibilities include:

  • Leading daily operations and long-range planning of the City's generation, transmission, and distribution systems. Managing an annual operating budget of approximately $35 million.
  • Overseeing 18 employees and fostering a culture of safety, accountability, and professional growth.
  • Negotiating wholesale power purchase agreements and ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements.
  • Advising City leadership on rate structures, infrastructure investments, and policy decisions.
