Duane Cramer, Senior Vice President of Sithe Global Power LLC, was the recipient of APPrO’s Hedley Palmer Award for 2010. In making the award at the APPrO Banquet Dinner on November 18, APPrO President Dave Butters noted that Mr. Cramer had been a major contributor to a number of important procurement, policy and regulatory initiatives since he arrived in Ontario - and was doing so long before he had an operating power plant in the province. Mr. Butters lauded Mr. Cramer’s work in particular on market pricing issues, as a witness at OEB hearings on gas services, on the A-5 emissions guidelines; on GHG cap and trade systems; and on NIMBY issues, and commended him as a thought leader in the power sector.
