Senate Restores FERC to a Full Five Commissioners
WASHINGTON – Today the Senate confirmed three new commissioners to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC:) Judy Chang, David Rosner, and Lindsay See.
Following is a reaction from Christy Walsh, Senior Attorney and Federal Markets Director with the Sustainable FERC Project at the NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council.)
“FERC is at the center of the clean energy transition, and with a full FERC Commission we now can focus on the hard work ahead. There are tough challenges that must be addressed, chiefly, providing badly needed system upgrades, addressing a scarcity of transmission capacity, and implementing long overdue, commonsense guardrails to our natural gas system. We look forward to working with the new Commissioners in the coming years.”
