Energy New England Announces New Regulatory Manager

Foxborough, MA: Energy New England (ENE), LLC, an energy cooperative based in Foxborough, Massachusetts, announced that David Cavanaugh will assume the role of Regulatory Manager, effective June 17, 2013. David Cavanaugh becomes the first official Regulatory Manager for the public power cooperative who represents 20 systems throughout New England with power supply and risk management services.

President and Chief Executive Officer John G. Tzimorangas says, "The appointment of David Cavanaugh to the regulatory role at ENE will be a significant benefit to the systems we represent and all of public power as David brings a well of knowledge and experience, and his previous interactions with ISO-New England and the representatives on the ISO committees, gives ENE a seat at the table."

Dave comes to ENE from Northeast Utilities where he has served for the past 15 months as Project Manager, Conservation & Load Management, with primary responsibility of managing CL&P and WMECO's Forward Capacity Market participation. Prior to that, Dave worked at ISO New England for 13 years in a number of capacities, including training, supervising the group that fields ISO customer inquiries (and there are many), Manager of Market Services and later as Director, Market Services. Dave comes to us with an intimate knowledge of the market rules, the rule development process and many participants. He is widely known and respected in that space, having spent several years as a liaison between various market participants and the ISO. He lives in Holyoke and brings a broad base of ISO senior management and staff business relationships to ENE, which is something we haven’t enjoyed in the past. 

Prior to ISO, Dave worked at Northeast Utilities for 13 years holding many operations positions in the Fossil & Hydro generation side of the house and later in his career, various corporate staff training positions at NU Service Company and Western Massachusetts Electric. 

Formed in 1998, ENE has grown significantly over the past few years, and is a leading provider of both supply and demand side services to the public power community. The company works with more than 35 municipal systems on a dedicated basis in the provision of one or more supply or demand-side services. In addition, it manages more than 900 MW of load and 550 MW of generation throughout New England.
