President
Consolidated Edison Company of New York
Craig S. Ivey is president of Consolidated Edison Company of New York,
a regulated utility with 14,000 employees serving New York City and most of Westchester County. The company is a subsidiary of Consolidated Edison, Inc.,
one of the nation’s largest investor-owned electric utilities, with approximately
$14 billion in annual revenues and $34 billion in assets.
Ivey and his team run electric operations across the entire service area, as well as gas operations in Manhattan, the Bronx, and parts of Queens and Westchester, and steam operations in Manhattan.
They are responsible for the safety, construction, planning, design and reliability
of an electric system that presently encompasses over 129,000 miles of underground and overhead electric cable, nearly 4,300 miles of gas mains,
and 105 miles of steam mains, serving over nine million New Yorkers.
Con Edison’s continuing emphasis on green initiatives to reduce carbon emissions have been recognized with commendations and awards from government agencies, nonprofit, and private organizations, including the U.S. Department of Energy, the international Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and Innovest Strategic Value Investors, among others.
Ivey joined Con Edison in November, 2009, after serving as a senior vice president in two different roles at Dominion Virginia Power since 2006, first as an SVP of Electric Delivery, then as an SVP of Transmission and Distribution. He had risen through a succession of increasingly responsible positions at Dominion, where
he developed a reputation for emphasizing safety, operational excellence
and leadership.
A native of Roanoke Rapids, N.C., Ivey originally joined Dominion in May, 1985, after spending several summers during college working in the company’s Engineering and Planning Group. Three years after becoming vice president of Electric Operations in 2000, he played a key role in expeditiously managing service restoration of 1.8 million customers after the devastating Hurricane Isabel.
Ivey earned his bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from North Carolina State University and has completed executive education programs at
the University of Michigan and Harvard University. In 2005, he received the
Black Engineer of the Year Award for Career Achievement in Industry.
He is married and the father of three children.
