On December 7, Kevin McIntyre was sworn in as the new Chairman, replacing Neil Chatterjee, of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Prior to joining the Commission, Mr. McIntyre served as an energy lawyer at Jones Day. With this appointment, there is now a full slate (five) of Commissioners in place at FERC. Chairman McIntyre’s term is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2023.

APGA sent a letter to the Chairman, Senator Murkowski (R-Alaska), and Ranking Member, Senator Cantwell (D-Wash.), of the Senate Energy Committee in support of Mr. McIntyre’s nomination. In its letter, APGA stated that Mr. McIntyre’s experience in energy law and policy makes him an excellent candidate for the Commission.

APGA meets with the FERC Commissioners twice a year, typically in December and again in spring in conjunction with the APGA Board and Committee meetings. A copy of APGA’s letter to the Senate Energy Committee in support of Mr. McIntyre is available on the APGA website.
