Two longtime Imperial Irrigation District employees will lead the district’s energy department on an interim basis. The district is home to three of the top six geothermal fields in the USA.
Mario Escalera and Carl Stills were appointed as deputy managers for the department, announced General Manager Kevin Kelley on Thursday. Escalera will head up day-to-day operations, while Stills will be responsible for strategic planning. IID officials will continue to work to finalize the organizational responsibilities of the department as the recruiting process for a permanent energy manager continues.
