Ivey, 46, joins Con Edison after serving as senior vice president for Transmission and Distribution at Dominion Resources in Virginia for the last two years. He joined Dominion in 1985, became general manager of Distribution Operations in 1998, a vice president in 2000, and a senior vice president in 2006. A graduate of North Carolina State University with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Ivey also has completed executive education programs at the University of Michigan and Harvard University.
In his last role, Ivey was responsible for overall electric operations, including maintenance, distribution, and emergency planning, and dealt frequently with municipal councils, government agencies and community organizations. He led customer restoration efforts in the wake of the devastating Hurricane Isabel, when 1.8 million of Dominion's 2.2 million customers lost power in 2003. Ivey led Dominion's field response, handling planning, logistics and communication as his 3,500-person work force grew overnight to more than 12,000 people, supplemented by contractors and workers supplied by other utilities that flowed into the region from as far away as Quebec.
"Craig is a skilled and knowledgeable leader who has extensive utility industry experience," said Kevin Burke, chairman, president, and CEO of Consolidated Edison. "He will continue the company's focus on strengthening and maintaining its energy infrastructure and delivering value for customers and investors."
