As Director of Generation Projects, Rick is responsible for capital maintenance works at Dominion’s active generation facilities and for overseeing the decommissioning and demolition of the company’s retired plants.

Since 2019, his team has carried out eight demolition projects — including five that were planned and executed in parallel during a two-year period.

Rick, who has a background in the coal, natural gas and timber industries and who has served at Dominion for almost 25 years, will draw on his experience to share insights on contractor vetting, including the factors that utility firms consider when choosing bidders.
