Sonoma Clean Power Brings on New Chief Operations Officer

Sonoma Clean Power (SCP), the public electricity provider for Sonoma and Mendocino Counties, has added a Chief Operations Officer (COO) to its team.

Mr. Koszalka’s 40-year career has been dedicated to the energy industry, including a combined 26 years at two electric utilities on the West Coast, and over 13 years within consulting firms that serve the energy utility industry.

His utility experience demonstrates a diverse background in customer service, product and service marketing, major account management, integrated resource planning, rate case development, and customer programs.

Additionally, Mr. Koszalka brings extensive experience in financial management and team leadership. He has also served on the boards of the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP), the Atwater Chamber of Commerce, and is a graduate of Leadership Merced.

Mr. Koszalka holds a B.S. in electrical engineering from U.C. Berkeley and an M.B.A. in marketing management from Golden Gate University.
