Platte River Power Authority recently appointed Travis Hunter to the new position of chief generation and transmission officer following an internal restructuring process.
“I have worked with Travis for 26 years and have watched his dedication and commitment to Platte River continue to grow, I am pleased to welcome him to our senior leadership team,” said Jason Frisbie, general manager and CEO of Platte River. “Travis brings extensive knowledge of generation and transmission operations and the unique challenges we face as we transition our resource portfolio.”
Hunter joined Platte River in 1998 as a maintenance technician. He held various positions in maintenance, instrumentation and electrical services and power production management before becoming director of power generation in 2021.
