Susan P. Kennedy, Chief of Staff for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, currently presides over California's leading efforts in energy efficiency and environmentally sound policy. Prior to her appointment with the Governor, Ms. Kennedy served as the cabinet secretary and deputy chief of staff in the administration of Gov. Gray Davis. During the California energy crisis, Kennedy coordinated administration efforts to streamline construction of new power plants and promote energy conservation. It was under Kennedy's direction that the state launched the Flex Your Power campaign, helping to reduce energy demand by historic levels.
In 2003, Ms. Kennedy was appointed to serve as a Commissioner on the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), becoming a leading voice for long-term energy reliability. During her time with the CPUC, Ms. Kennedy oversaw the launch of an ambitious $2 billion energy-use reduction campaign representing the single largest funding authorization for energy efficiency programs in U.S. history and saving California over 1,500 megawatts of energy usage. Ms. Kennedy was also instrumental in the creation of California's Energy Action Plan, which puts energy efficiency at the front of the line for utility measures. Flex Your Power congratulates Ms. Kennedy for her enduring commitment to California's economic prosperity and environmental quality.
