She oversees the work of staff responsible for energy efficiency and supervises the development and implementation of new environmental programs.

She represents Colton Electric Utility on the Public Benefits and the Electric Vehicle working groups at the Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA). Ms. Sutorus has successfully secured millions of dollars in State and Federal grants related to EV (electric vehicle) infrastructure expansion, greenhouse gas reduction, Urban Forestry Management Planning, DTSC remediation, and Green construction infrastructure over her career.
