Palo Alto, Calif., Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EPRI today announced that Rob Chapman, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Customer Officer, will retire effective January 1, 2027, following more than 25 years of service to EPRI and the energy industry.

Chapman helped guide EPRI through significant change across the energy sector and played an important role in elevating EPRI’s voice on issues including decarbonization, electrification, grid modernization, and the evolving relationship between energy producers and consumers. His leadership roles included Vice President of Technical Advisory Services, Vice President of Corporate Affairs, Senior Vice President of Energy Delivery and Customer Solutions, and Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Customer Officer.

“Rob Chapman has been an extraordinary leader, trusted advisor, and passionate advocate for EPRI’s mission,” said Arshad Mansoor, EPRI President and Chief Executive Officer. “Throughout his career, Rob has helped strengthen our connections with members, fostered collaboration across the industry, and helped position EPRI to meet the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing energy landscape. Just as important, he has been a valued colleague and friend whose leadership, integrity, and commitment to others have left a lasting mark on our organization.

Chapman represented EPRI at major industry forums and helped advance dialogue on grid modernization, electrification, decarbonization, industrial growth, and energy innovation. He also contributed to strategic member engagement through EPRI’s Summer Seminar, Research Advisory Committee activities, Board engagement, and international industry collaborations.

“It has been a tremendous privilege to serve EPRI, our members, and the broader energy industry,” Chapman said. “I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities I have had to work alongside so many talented colleagues, dedicated members, and industry leaders. Together, we have advanced important research, strengthened collaboration across the sector, and helped address some of the most pressing challenges facing the energy future. I leave EPRI with great confidence in its leadership, its mission, and its continued ability to make a positive impact on society.”

Effective January 2, 2027, Tom TerBush will be promoted to Senior Vice President, Chief Commercial and Customer Officer for EPRI Group and will continue to serve as President of EPRI International. In his expanded role, TerBush will build on his extensive experience leading EPRI’s global member relationships, business development, technology transfer, and funding activities.

TerBush joined EPRI in 1997 and has held key leadership roles across the organization. He has led EPRI’s international business since 2020, first as Director, International and, since 2021, as President of EPRI International.

“Tom brings deep institutional knowledge, strong global relationships, and extensive experience serving EPRI’s members and partners,” Mansoor said. “His promotion provides important leadership continuity while positioning EPRI to further strengthen our member and customer engagement around the world.”
