New York Power Authority President and CEO
The larger-than-life Richard Kessel has never been content sitting behind a desk. He has made dealing directly with NYPA’s stakeholders a top priority. Besides focusing on providing clean, low-cost, reliable energy to New York’s diverse communities, the former head of the Long Island Power Authority has also put heavy emphasis on jobs. Too bad the state can’t plug directly into Kessel—he’s got enough energy to power the whole grid himself.
