John Di Stasio is President of the Large Public Power Council. Tom Falcone is CEO of the Long Island Power Authority. Dan Sullivan is CEO of the Grand River Dam Authority.
During the 2022 Public Power Community Conference, co-hosted by LPPC and S&P Global Ratings, PUF corraled chief execs for two roundtables on where their utilities and public power generally are heading. In one of these roundtables, PUF moderated a conversation with John Di Stasio, Tom Falcone, and Dan Sullivan. Di Stasio leads the Large Public Power Council and before that led Sacramento Municipal Utility District. The latter two gentlemen lead the Long Island Power Authority and Grand River Dam Authority.
PUF's Steve Mitnick: Why are you here attending this event?
John Di Stasio: The Public Power Community Conference is a signature LPPC event that we co-host with S&P Global bi-annually. It's an opportunity for LPPC members to meet with members of the investment and banking community and share what's going on in our industry.
There's a lot of diversity among LPPC's membership. Members are tackling similar issues, but how they are approaching them and the tools they're working with vary. Having these conversations and educating the financial community is a way to showcase the sophistication and planning that goes into running large public power systems.
