DEEP Hires New Procurement Manager


The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) recently announced the hiring of Jeffrey Gaudiosi as the state’s first procurement manager. Created by PA 11-80, the position’s responsibilities include developing a plan to procure power contracts for the standard service electricity that Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P) and United Illuminating (UI) provide to small and medium size customers who do not purchase their electricity from a competitive supplier. While CL&P and UI were previously responsible for developing the standard service procurement plan, the new position was created with hopes of a more efficient purchase of electric power and reduced electric rates.

Gaudiosi’s credentials include being vice president of the Manufacturing Alliance of Connecticut, vice-chair and chairman of the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund, and vice-chair and chairman of the Connecticut Energy Advisory Board.
