NPI Northland Power Inc

Northland Power Inc. (TSX: NPI) announced today that John Brace, who has been serving as Northland’s Executive Chair since March 25, 2024, has assumed the role of Interim President and CEO effective immediately, following former President and CEO Mike Crawley’s planned departure from the Company on September 30th. Mr. Brace continues to serve as Chair of the Board and Ian Pearce continues as Lead Independent Director.

Mr. Brace has been with Northland since 1988, serving as CEO from 2003 to 2018, and has played a pivotal role in the Company’s growth and success. His leadership and expertise have been instrumental as Northland continues to focus on its key priorities, including successfully advancing the Company’s three large construction programs – Hai Long, Baltic Power and Oneida – as well as prudently advancing Northland’s 9GW development pipeline.

Northland will provide a further update when a permanent President and CEO has been appointed.
