Former NYISO Senior VP Tom Rumsey Joins Competitive Power Ventures

- Experienced Energy Executive Will Lead CPV's Development Expansion Initiative-

BRAINTREE, Mass., Aug. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Competitive Power Ventures ("CPV") announced today it has hired former New York Independent System Operator ("NYISO")
senior vice president of External & Regulatory affairs, Thomas Rumsey, to help drive the company's aggressive expansion plans across North America.
Rumsey joins CPV after more than five years leading the New York electric grid operator's external affairs activities and 10 years of successful public affairs experience with General
Electric Corporate, Nuclear, and Power and Water divisions.
In his new position as VP External Affairs, Rumsey will be responsible for helping develop and advocate for policy that supports the maturing industry and continued growth of the
company as the leading North American electric power development and asset management company. CPV was recently acquired by Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) after a
string of development successes. GIP has ambitious goals for expanding CPV's development activities and footprint across North America.
"Tom brings a wealth of successful experience on both from the commercial and technical side while working for GE as well as the wholesale market and policy side of the energy
industry with the NYISO," said Gary Lambert, CPV President. "This potent combination that Tom brings to our team will be integral to achieving our ambitious expansion goals over the
next few years."
During Rumsey's tenure at the NYISO he was instrumental in helping advance a number of key policy initiatives including the new Federal Energy Regulatory Commission-approved
lower Hudson Capacity Zone intended to maintain electric reliability in that part of the state. He also spearheaded a number of key initiatives for GE, some of which were adopted as
GE "Best Practices."
Rumsey retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the U.S. Army in 2013 after a career as an aviation officer. During his career he commanded elite armed reconnaissance helicopter units
and deployed to Afghanistan with 3rd Special Forces Group in 2003. He holds a BS in Aeronautical Studies from the University of North Dakota, and MBA from the University of
Maryland College Park and attended the Harvard Business School General Management Program in 2014.
