SILVER SPRING, MD - Competitive Power Ventures has hired Brian Kunz to open a new west coast office and to lead the expansion of CPV's power project development activities in California and other western states.

Brian Kunz has joined CPV as Vice President and Regional Executive to run the west coast office for the Company.
