Former Duchesne County Commissioner Greg Todd is retiring from Utah’s Office of Energy Development where he served as director. The Department of Natural Resources made the announcement on Tuesday sharing that since his appointment in August 2022, Todd has “shepherded the office through an audit, overseen the hiring of key positions and helped shape Utah’s energy policy, ensuring the state has reliable, affordable and adequate energy for years to come.” Under his leadership, it was shared that the office is poised to exceed the expectations of the audit and best assist policymakers. “It has been an honor and a privilege to be part of DNR and lead the talented and dedicated team at OED – a real once-in-a-lifetime role,” shares Todd. “When I joined the office 18 months ago, I was joining the team as a transitional leader. Now is the perfect time for a change: OED is set up for an amazing future and is fully ready to implement the state energy plan, and the state has a clear vision for its energy future.” Todd served as a Duchesne County Commissioner for over seven years before accepting the role of director of the Office of Energy Development. Before his time in public service, Todd had a career in the oil and gas industry.
