Ep7: Mysterious Frontiers - The New FERC

Published: Aug. 9, 2017, 3:36 p.m.

The Senate has confirmed the appointment of two new FERC Commissioners, Neil Chatterjee and Robert Powelson. Together with Acting Chair Cheryl LaFleur, that brings the Commission to 3, constituting a quorum for taking action and making decisions. The new FERC will face important issues around wholesale power market design, as well as transmission planning, among others. With me to discuss the issues is Suedeen Kelly, former FERC Commissioner (2003-2009) and former New Mexico Public Regulation Commission Chair and Commissioner. (Host Allison Clements)
