Rob Berntsen has been named Xcel Energy’s new executive vice president and chief legal and compliance officer, Xcel announced in a May 20 press release.
Berntsen is assuming the role from Amanda Rome, who in addition to her role as executive vice president, group president, utilities and chief customer officer, had been in the position on an interim basis.
Berntsen will oversee the company’s legal, compliance and corporate secretary and securities teams. He comes to the company with two decades of experience in the energy sector, most recently serving as the senior vice president, chief of staff and general counsel at BHE Renewables, a Berkshire Hathaway company developing, owning and operating solar, wind, geothermal and hydroelectric power plants.
