Toronto – The Association of Major Power Consumers in Ontario (AMPCO) Board of Directors has selected Colin Anderson as its new President, effective October 14, 2016.

“On behalf of AMPCO, I am pleased to welcome our new President,” said Mark Passi, Chairman of AMPCO. “Colin’s extensive experience in energy policy, regulatory affairs and the electricity market will be a great benefit to AMPCO members. His expertise will also assist in advancing our goals of maintaining and attracting investments and jobs in Ontario by improving our global competitive standing.”

Mr. Anderson comes to AMPCO with over 25 years of experience in the energy sector, serving the last 15 at Ontario Power Generation (OPG), most recently as Director of Major Applications.
