Paducah Power System has named Mark Crisson its interim general manager after Dave Clark stepped down two weeks ago amid community concern over high power bills.

A PPS statement says Crisson will start today and serve in the position for around five months while the utility’s board searches for a permanent replacement. Crisson is the former president and CEO of the American Public Power Association and Director of Utilities at Washington Public Utilities.

Dowdy Recruiting will visit Paducah next week to meet with PPS board members and staff and gather information for the general manager search.
