Reactions Reserved as Chatterjee is Named Chairman and McIntyre Moves to Commissioner

摘要

Sudden changes in leadership at FERC are getting to be more common, with the latest move resulting in Neil Chatterjee being handed the chairman’s gavel by the White House after Kevin McIntyre relinquished it in an October 22 letter to President Donald Trump. Those affected by the changes and a few former commissioners commented on the increased turnover at the chairman position, which has been unprecedented, with an energy industry that is more accustomed to changes compared with years past. The energy industry generally prefers consistency and certainty, but with so many changes in the industry itself and at the regulatory level, leadership changes at FERC are not as unsettling as they may have been previously, sources said.
