On December 11, members of the APGA Board of Directors and the Regulatory Subcommittee met with members of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in Washington, D.C. The APGA representatives that participated in the meeting included: Owen Reeves, Chairman of the APGA Board of Directors and Gas System Director for Henderson Municipal Gas; Sam Davis, APGA First Vice Chair and General Manger & Chief Executive Officer of Lake Apopka Natural Gas District; John Leary, APGA Second Vice Chair and Gas Superintendent for the Borough of Chambersburg; Donnie Sharp, Chair of the APGA Regulatory Subcommittee and Senior Natural Gas Supply Coordinator for Huntsville Utilities; John Gregg, APGA’s General Counsel; and, Dave Schryver, APGA’s Executive Vice President. The issues that were raised in the meeting included the liquidity of natural gas price indices, infrastructure, and pipeline rates.

APGA leadership meets with the FERC Commissioners twice a year as a means to communicate information and positions on federal regulatory matters of concern to public gas systems. These meetings play a critical role in APGA’s advocacy efforts as they have allowed APGA to develop and maintain a relationship with the Commissioners.
