Following on the heels of the announcement in February that Duncan Hawthorne would be retiring soon as the President and CEO of Bruce Power, the recruitment process for a new CEO is underway.
Effective today, Bruce Power's Chief Financial Officer Kevin Kelly has assumed the additional role of Acting President.
Kelly has been with Bruce Power since the company was formed in 2001 and has been responsible for a wide range of functions. More recently, he was part of the negotiating team that successfully secured a new commercial framework for the site, announced in December, 2015.
