Mr. Darbee will share his perspective on Climate Change for Policymakers and Business Leaders (click here to see his article: http://www.pgecorp.com/corp_responsibility/pdf/climatepaper_final.pdf). He will also share his thoughts on how an energy utility can be successful in the rapidly changing local and global energy markets. Since becoming CEO in 2005, Mr. Darbee has spearheaded major new initiatives to establish PG&E as an industry front-runner in customer satisfaction, operational excellence, and environmental leadership.

The Master of Ceremonies will be Matt Deal, CPUC Policy and Planning Division Director.
