Bill McMahon CEO of CoaLogix, a worldwide leader in environmental services for the electric utility industry, commented, “We are honored these two prominent industry veterans have agreed to join our board and support us in the growth of the company.  Both of these executives have been directly associated with high growth companies in the past and are very familiar with the types of unique situations CoaLogix will address. It’s clearly a testament to our accomplishments that we have senior executives from one of the largest coal producers and one of the largest coal-fired generators on our board. I look forward to working closely with them, continuing to build our company.”


Holly Koeppel is AEP’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, with responsibility for finance, corporate accounting, planning and strategy, risk management and investor relations. Koeppel has more than 20 years of experience managing regulated and unregulated energy operations. She joined AEP in July 2000 as Vice President-new ventures for AEP Corporate Development and was named Senior Vice President - Corporate Development and Strategy in 2002. Prior to that, she was executive vice president - Commercial Operations, responsible for AEP's wholesale trading and marketing, structuring and analysis, generation optimization and dispatch, emissions optimization and compliance, fuel procurement and logistics including AEP's coal terminal and barging operations.


John W. Eaves has been President and Chief Operating Officer of Arch Coal since April 2006.  Prior to that time, he served as Arch’s Executive Vice president and Chief Operating Officer from December 2002 until April 2006, and as the company’s Senior Vice President of marketing from February 2000 until December 2002.  Mr. Eaves joined Arch Coal in 1987 and has also held the positions of Vice President of Marketing and President of Arch Coal Sales during his tenure with the company.  He was elected to Arch’s Board of Directors in February 2006 and has also served as a director of ADA-ES Inc. since October 2003.    


These additions increase the number of directors on the CoaLogix board to six. In addition to Koeppel and Eaves, the members of CoaLogix’s board include John Moore, Chairman, President & CEO of Acorn Energy; Rick Giacco, Board member of Acorn Energy; Scott Ungerer, Managing Partner of EnerTech Capital; and Bill McMahon, CEO of CoaLogix.
