• Kirk Andrews, who has been CFO of Midwest utility Evergy since 2021, will become the incoming chief financial officer of Consolidated Edison.
• Andrews will replace Robert Hoglund who plans to retire later in 2024.
• By 2040, New York's climate goals will be met through Con Edison's commitment to a massive clean energy transition.

The companies announced Monday that Robert Hoglund, the current CFO, will retire on July 8 and be replaced by Kirk Andrews, who is currently the CFO of another company.

Geoffrey Ley, vice president, corporate planning and treasurer, will be acting CFO of the Midwest utility company as the company conducts an internal and external search to fill the role.

Andrews joins Con Edison as it works towards New York State's goal of achieving a zero-emission electric grid by 2040. The utility serves 3.6 million customers with electricity and 1.1 million customers with gas in New York City and Westchester County.
