Biggest Year-over-Year Increases
2023 → 2024

No qualifying raises were computed for the 2024 Sunshine List.

A year-over-year increase or decrease in disclosed pay can include overtime, a retroactive payment, a vacation payout or severance, not only a change in base pay, rate, or role — the Sunshine List discloses total salary paid that year, not a pay rate. This list is ranked by the dollar increase, not by the percentage shown.

52 people were new to Energy's list in 2024; 15 who were on it in 2023 were not. See the full 2024 roster →
