--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mr. McGee brings 30 years of broad experience in utility operations, energy management
and energy policy consulting. This was gained through senior technical and marketing
positions at public utility companies, an energy management contracting company, and
the consulting firm, Energy Profiles Limited.
While at Ontario Hydro as Superintendent – Commercial Programs (1986-1992), Mr.
McGee had prime responsibility for the development, Board approval and delivery of
Hydro’s first Demand Side Management incentive based programs to the Commercial
sector - Energy Efficient Lighting, Savings By Design, and Thermal Cool Storage. He
also represented Ontario Hydro at regulatory hearings held by the Ontario Energy Board.
Mr. McGee then served as Sr. VP - Canadian Operations for a U.S. based energy services
company. In this capacity he oversaw the negotiation, execution and ongoing
management of energy performance contracts totaling $6.7 Million in construction value.
These projects involved lighting, building automation systems and mechanical system
retrofits.
Through Energy Profiles Limited Mr. McGee continues to provide energy accounting and
management consulting, primarily to large end-use commercial office and multiresidential customers. These services include utility cost accounting, load aggregation,
rate analysis, submetering, verification of energy savings and energy purchasing.
Other current projects of note include providing extended consulting services to the
People’s Republic of China in establishing three new Energy Management Companies to
conduct performance contracting in their new market economy. This occurred
extensively throughout 1997 and again in 2002 and involved technical and financial
evaluation of individual projects, formal training in technical subjects and project
management, and recommendations regarding staffing and organization of the new
EMC’s. The three fledging EMC’s are now well established and undertaking
substantial energy management projects.
In the fall of 2000 Mr. McGee conducted an extensive workshop in Uruguay for the
World Bank - “Operating Utility DSM Programs is a Restructuring Electricity
Environment”. Delegates from 12 countries discussed ways of maintaining DSM in their
de-regulating electricity markets. Mr. McGee had full responsibility for the coordination
of preparatory materials, facilitation of the workshop, and producing the summary report
(available at http://www.worldbank.org/html/fpd/esmap/dsm.pdf ). He also assisted in
the delivery of course material and workshop facilitation to a seminar in Sao Paulo,
Brazil for utility staff and industrial customers regarding the development and delivery of
performance based energy management programs.
Toronto Hydro retained Mr. McGee in 1997 to establish a Key Account team. This group
provided energy services to existing large commercial / industrial customers in advance
of a competitive electricity market in Ontario and was the precursor to Toronto Hydro
Energy Services, the utility’s unregulated retail subsidiary.
At Enbridge Consumers Gas and Union Gas, Mr. McGee has provided program design
and marketing services related to increased usage of efficient gas applications for
commercial customers.
Mr. McGee served 6 years (two terms) as a member of Ontario’s IESO Technical Panel
(Independent Electricity System Operator) representing commercial customers. He is the
past Treasurer of the Canadian Association of Energy Service Companies (CAESCO), a
member of the Association of Energy Engineers, the Building Owners and Managers
Association (BOMA) of Toronto, and the Ontario Energy Association. He has received
the designation of “Certified Energy Procurement Professional” and “Certified
Measurement and Verification Professional“from the Association of Energy Engineers
(AEE).
Mr. McGee has served as advisor to BOMA Toronto’s Strategic Energy committee since
2000, and has represented BOMA at various OEB consultations including RPP Pricing
and CDM Program design. He also represents BOMA on the provincial Crisis
Management Support Team, which is administered by the IESO.
