CH Energy Group Appoints Vice President of Accounting

New York-based CH Energy Group’s board has appointed Kimberly Wright as vice president of accounting and controller. She will continue to serve as the controller of its largest subsidiary, Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation.

Ms Wright joined the company in October 2006 after more than 15 years of experience in the energy and accounting fields at both Northeast Utilities and Coopers & Lybrand.

Ms Wright succeeds Donna Doyle, who will continue to serve CH Energy Group as a vice president. She becomes the company’s principal accounting officer as a result of the appointment.

Christopher Capone, executive vice president and CFO, said: “Since joining us little more than a year ago, Kim has provided insightful guidance and a thorough analysis of financial affairs in our electric and natural gas businesses. We are confident that the CH Energy Group will also benefit from her strong financial skill set as a result of this appointment.”
