Secretary Candidate
John Fazio
Senior Power Systems Analyst
John Fazio has been a power systems analyst for the Pacific Northwest Power and Conservation Council
since 1984. His primary duty is to assist in the development of the Council's regional power plan. He is
currently working with other regional entities to develop a resource adequacy standard for the Northwest. He
is a member of the IEEE subcommittee on Risk, Reliability and Probabilistic Applications. Using a MonteCarlo simulation computer model, which he co-authored, he assesses power supply adequacy, resource cost
effectiveness and impacts of alternative hydroelectric operations. Analysis of hydroelectric operations is an
essential part of the development of the Council's fish and wildlife program.
Born in Genoa, Italy in 1952, John emigrated to the United States with his family in 1955. He is a U.S. citizen.
He received a B.S. degree in Physics from the University of Portland in 1974 and was a doctoral candidate in
Physics at the University of Oregon from 1974 to 1976. He received an MS in Nuclear Physics in 1976. John
worked for the Bonneville Power Administration from 1977 through 1984. He has taught physics at the
University of Portland, University of Oregon and at Concordia College. He has occasionally aided national and
international groups on hydroelectric related topics.
