Geoff Cohen, v.p. in the investment banking group at RBC Capital Markets in Toronto, has left the bank for a similar post in Merrill Lynch Canada in the same city. Cohen was advising Tenaska Energy on its auction of its 62% stake in the 830 MW Tenaska Frontier Generating Station (see related story, page 1) when he left. He did not return a message seeking comment.

Cohen is expected to start working at Merrill this week, says Annette Borger, spokeswoman at Merrill. His exact responsibilities could not be determined. David Dal Bello, managing director at RBC, declined to comment.
