Mr Barron has served as chief nuclear officer since 2004. Mr Jamil joined Duke Power in 1981 as a design engineer. He has worked at all three of Duke Energy’s nuclear stations, serving as vice president of both McGuire and Catawba nuclear stations. He was named to his current role in December 2006.
James Rogers, chairman, president and CEO of Duke Energy, said: Brew Barron has been a great leader of our nuclear team. Under his leadership, our nuclear plants have turned in strong capacity factors and set records for continuous days of operation.
We are fortunate to have a strong and deep bench on our nuclear team, and as a result we will make a smooth transition. Dhiaa Jamil has had an impressive 26-year career with Duke Energy that has prepared him well for his new role.
