One Commissioner continually has referred to EWEB as the best utility in the nation. It was unfortunate, however, that EWEB’s top-notch staff experienced in on-site renewables and energy efficiency jumped ship during the past GM Roger Gray's reign. I was told that at least 1 long-time manager had a hissy match with Gray challenging anomalous policies. He had to leave, not the GM. 
Others retired.

Independent energy consultants and educators were shocked at reversals in solar energy and conservation incentives after EWEB had earned a stellar rep leading the nation. Ludicrous it was that the one person left on the staff in the solar section dissed solar.  

Why EWEB hired a former PG&E V-P instead of 1 from 2000 publicly owned utilities was a conundrum. He deleted the VP history from his resume on EWEB’s site.

Gray on several items did not seem to care about consulting the all-volunteer Board. 

EWEB Board should be paid is what I deducted from the Gray fiasco, +/- 15k a year.
