Honored to be named @UtilityDive “Policymaker of the Year” on behalf of @FERC. And many thanks to my Commission colleagues and the wonderfully talented @FERC staff for their continued hard work and commitment to regulatory excellence. #EnergyIsGood#infrastructure
.@FERC Commissioner @McIntyreFERC named “Policymaker of the Year” by @UtilityDive in recognition of the grid modernization initiatives he spearheaded in his first year here. Congratulations, Commissioner!
Excited to announce we have sworn in two new @FERC judges. Congratulations to Judges French and Nagel. For the first time in history women are the majority of FERC’s ALJs. #EnergyIsGood!
Congratulations to Bernard McNamee for his nomination to @FERC! He is eminently qualified for the job, and I look forward to serving with him. @FERC is one step closer to our full complement. #energyisgood@FERChatterjee @CLaFleurFERC @RichGlickFERC
Sat down for a new @FERC Open Access podcast to discuss the exciting #LNG news we recently announced and to look forward to a busy final four months of 2018. Take a listen! #infrastructure#natgas#energyisgood https://t.co/Z8uElXuwZk
.@FERC is committed to meeting our statutory requirements in a thorough and timely manner, allowing US LNG exports to compete for global #LNG demand. #natgas#infrastructure /3 /end
The US is projected to be the third largest #LNG exporter, and our exports continue to have widespread, bipartisan support, as exports benefit national security, our balance of trade, and economic development at the state and local level. /2
Today the @FERC Office of Energy Projects issued environmental schedules for 12 LNG projects, reflecting staff’s hard work and creative efforts in recent months to streamline our review process for all pending and future LNG applications. /1
Pleased to share: @FERC & @PHMSA_DOT today entered into an agreement drawing on their expertise to expedite review of all pending & future #LNG applications. Thanks to DOT Sec. Chao and PHMSA Admin. Elliott for leadership. #federalpartners#infrastructure#natgas#energyisgood
Delaying restoration of approximately 150 miles of cleared land would be unnecessary and environmentally irresponsible. #pipelines#natgas#environment /end/
In the case of MVP, BLM confirmed the approved route and I am confident that our federal partners, with whom we are in close consultation, will address any outstanding sedimentation analysis issues for the 3.5-mile crossing on federal land. #pipelines#natgas#environment /3
For more than 15 years, OEP Directors have been using delegated authority to stop and resume construction under a succession of @FERC Chairmen, all of whom have experience addressing complex pipeline issues. #pipelines#natgas#environment /2
I support resuming MVP construction on non-federal lands to avoid long-term adverse erosion and sedimentation impacts. #pipelines#natgas#environment /1
I have long regarded the job of @FERC Commissioner as among the coolest in Washington. On Monday, @FERChatterjee made it even cooler, throwing out the 1st pitch at the @Royals-Blue Jays game in KC and with fine form to boot! Very proud of my friend! #gridresilience#energyisgood
Saying a fond farewell to friend and colleague @FERCRPowelson, who leaves @FERC today to become president and CEO of the National Association of Water Companies. Commissioner, we thank you for your tireless public service!
This morning @FERC gathered as friends and colleagues to celebrate our departing friend Commissioner Rob Powelson, who will become President/CEO of the National Assn. of Water Companies. Commissioner Rich Glick and I are among many who will miss him and wish him the very best.
Giving a @FERC welcome today to regulators from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority of Pakistan, here to discuss @FERC processes for certification and docketing. International meetings like this help foster collaboration on important market and regulatory matters.
Encouraged by the forward-looking approach of @FERC tech conference panelists on grid resilience. As resources develop, so do risks. Pleased to see so many ideas being developed to address these important issues. Thanks to all panelists. #GridResilience#ElectricReliability
Strongly supportive of and appreciate Rep. Olson and Rep. Green for their bipartisan leadership to assist in our ongoing efforts to find creative solutions for timely processing of all remaining #LNG applications. #EnergyInfrastructure#GridResilience
