Dan Bergmann
Dan Bergmann joined IGS in November 2001 to become President of the company on March 1, 2002. Under his guidance, IGS’ focus has been almost exclusively on end-users in California and weighted heavily toward government and public agencies. Mr. Bergmann’s major accomplishments at IGS include completion of a gas operations feasibility study for Northern California Power Agency, completion of a comprehensive gas system audit for City of Susanville, and serving the role of energy advisor to several large end-users in Northern California.

Mr. Bergmann holds a B.A. in Physical Science from UC Berkeley, where he focused on thermodynamics and energy technology. He has 22 years experience in various aspects of the energy industry, all focused in California. Mr. Bergmann is also a Certified Energy Manager.

Mr. Bergmann started his career with seven years at PG&E, followed by three with Redwood Resources (gas marketing), and then seven with Enron Energy Services, all in the San Francisco Bay Area.

At PG&E, after initially promoting energy efficiency programs to large consumers, he moved to PG&E’s gas procurement group where his team purchased up to 300,000 MMBtu per day of California supply. His experience at PG&E also includes work on gas-related regulatory proceedings, and gas sales and contract development with PG&E’s EOR customers and the Southern California utilities.

At Redwood Resources, as Gas Operations Manager, Mr. Bergmann was responsible for gas control, contract administration, and regulatory proceedings. He designed and programmed all of Redwood’s software for gas control and invoicing functions, directed Redwood’s participation in the rollout of interstate capacity pipeline release and third-party storage programs. He also testified on behalf of the California Gas Marketers group at the California Public Utilities Commission. Finally, Mr. Bergmann's novel management style resulted in high employee moral.

At Enron, Mr. Bergmann's focus turned to sales and account management, initially in gas for the first few years, then to electricity and energy efficiency in the form of Enron’s outsource approach for facility operations. He developed excellent relationships with many of California largest energy-consuming entities. Mr. Bergmann's personal gas sales revenue peaked in 1998 at $28 million in annual sales. He followed his gas focus by introducing many customers to the concept of direct access electricity in California. He was a conference speaker on several topics including customer metering requirements, customer aggregation, and the role of the Power Exchange and Independent System Operator in a restructured marketplace. Finally, as Account Management Director, Mr. Bergmann was successful repairing Enron’s relationships with two of its largest retail customers, Pacific Bell and Lockheed. His success with Pacific Bell earned him membership to the Chairman's Pinnacle Club in 2000.
