In a move designed to further improve the operational performance at PacifiCorp, ScottishPower announced today that, with effect from 1 January 2005, Ronnie Mercer, currently Group Director, Infrastructure Division, will be appointed Executive Vice President, Operations, PacifiCorp.

 

As part of our planned Board development programme, David Nish will become the Board Executive Director responsible for Infrastructure Division. David will take up his new position after the company’s year end results and once a suitable successor for his current position is appointed. A comprehensive search will begin immediately for his replacement as Group Finance Director.

 

David Rutherford, currently Managing Director, Power Systems, will act as Divisional Director, Infrastructure in the interim period between Ronnie’s move to PacifiCorp and David’s appointment to head the Infrastructure Division.
