WHEREAS, Stan C. Feuerberg, president and chief executive officer of the Board of Directors of the Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative, which serves more than 177,000 metered customers in the Counties of Fairfax, Fauquier, Prince William, Stafford, and Clarke; the City of Manassas Park; and the Town of Clifton, will retire on April 1, 2022; and

WHEREAS, after earning a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and a juris doctor degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Stan Feuerberg served as general counsel of the Western Area Power Administration in the United States Department of Energy and as chief operating officer of the Vermont Electric Power Company; and

WHEREAS, Stan Feuerberg joined the Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative (NOVEC) in January 1992 as president and chief executive officer of its board and over the past 30 years has built the organization into one of the largest and most prominent electric cooperatives in the country; and

WHEREAS, during Stan Feuerberg’s tenure, NOVEC more than doubled its customer base, more than quadrupled the number of kilowatt hours it sold, nearly quadrupled its peak system load, more than quintupled its operating revenues, and quadrupled the value of its assets; and

WHEREAS, despite growth that elevated NOVEC into the top echelon of its industry, NOVEC did not raise base electric rates for its customers under Stan Feuerberg’s watch, but rather reduced its rates for residential residents by four and half percent in 2011; and

WHEREAS, Stan Feuerberg guided NOVEC through various initiatives that enhanced its ability to serve its customers, including the establishment of a proprietary fiber-optic network; the founding of for-profit subsidiaries NOVEC Solutions and NOVEC Energy Solutions; and the creation of the power supply division, enabling the cooperative to purchase power on the open market; and

WHEREAS, Stan Feuerberg has encouraged innovation at NOVEC, leading to a patent for more efficient fiber optic communication and a biomass electric generating facility in Halifax County, and deserves credit for the many accolades the cooperative has received over the years; and

WHEREAS, in addition to his work with NOVEC, Stan Feuerberg has given generously of his time and talents through service with many community organizations, particularly Easter Seals UCP Virginia; and
