Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
Edison Mission Group (EMG)
Ronald L. Litzinger is the chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Edison Mission Group (EMG), Edison’s International’s competitive power generation business and parent company to Edison Mission Energy (EME) and Edison Capital (EC). EME is an independent power producer engaged in the business of developing, acquiring, owning or leasing, operating, and selling energy and capacity from independent power production facilities. EME also conducts hedging and energy trading activities in power markets open to competition. EC has investments in energy and infrastructure projects worldwide and in affordable housing projects located throughout the United States.
Litzinger has held a wide range of executive positions at Edison International, Southern California Edison (SCE), and EME since joining SCE as an engineer in 1986. He joined EME in 1995 as an operations business development manager and was named vice president in that function in 1998. He was EME’s senior vice president of worldwide operations from 1999 to 2002 and served as senior vice president and chief technical officer from 2002 to 2004. He was named vice president of Strategic Planning for Edison International in 2004 and was named senior vice president for SCE’s Transmission and Distribution Business Unit in 2005, serving in that capacity until being named to his current position.
Litzinger was instrumental in getting EME’s Sunrise power plant in Bakersfield, California, online in less than a year, helping ease the energy constraints of the California power crisis of 2000-2001. He played an important role in helping EMG get back to financial strength from 2002 to 2004 and is one of the key architects of Edison International’s 2004 strategic plan, which is still guiding the company.
Before joining Edison, Litzinger held engineering positions with various Texaco subsidiaries.
Litzinger earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Washington and a master’s degree in management from the University of Redlands.
