And just like that, @FERC returns to its full complement of five Commissioners! Chair @wlpFERC, with Commissioners: @ChristieFERC, @RosnerFERC, Judy Chang & Lindsay See at July’s Open Meeting.

Three Commission meetings in fewer than 30 days!

Congratulations to this impressive group of @FERC nominees David Rosner, Judy Chang, & Lindsay See. Wishing all 3 of you the best in your confirmation process.

@kgm2pers2 @ClementsFERC @rtoinsider I wonder what we were respectively reading!

Honored to photobomb rockstar @ClementsFERC 🤩 in @rtoinsider! She makes so many great points about Grid Enhancing Technologies policy - recommended reading. rtoinsider.com/68236-fercs-cl…

Extending our gratitude to @FERC Commissioner @ClementsFERC for her keynote remarks on FERC's critical transmission policy modernization efforts. Appreciate the engagement with @GasteigerLarry, members & guests in a robust Q&A. WIRES Fall Meeting: wiresgroup.com/wires-fall-mem… #grid

So proud of the staff team who worked their butts off to get this massive rule out! And a huge shoutout to my friend Kris for his indefatigable efforts in leading #teamclements' analysis and review of the rule.

And it is a great start for GETs. It requires evaluation of static synchronous compensators, static VAR compensators, advanced power flow control devices, transmission switching, synchronous condensers, voltage source converters, advanced conductors, and tower lifting. /6

Best quote in government goes to Commissioner Clements in her statement on interconnection: "Staff has been working nights and weekends for months, their families and friends have been subjected to interconnection policy discussions at the dinner table, their toddlers know...

@AzSunshineGal This is pretty cool!

I just learned about gridstatus.io It provides real time info from all 7 RTOs in one place - awesome!

We also issued a final rule on credit-related information sharing that does not go far enough to protect our wholesale markets. RTOs are permitted, but not required, to share information that may be critical to protect the markets from effects of default by participants.

.@PPLCorp was the 1st electric co. in the U.S. to install + integrate a DLR system into operations. Their leadership was recognized this week as the recipient of the Edison Award! We are proud to have @ampacimon, the DLR vendor who supported PPL, as a founding member of WATT!

It’s Commission Meeting day!

@ClementsFERC cheers on Grid Enhancing Technologies: they are simple technologies that offer huge savings compared to traditional transmission projects — AND they help decarbonize! From rtoinsider.com/articles/32197…

"Customer dollars are going to be spent on transmission in any case. I believe it is @FERC's job to direct that investment in a manner that provides the most benefits to customers at the lowest cost." -@ClementsFERC👏 Let's invest in a grid that will ensure future cost savings⚡️

@danyellberto Thank you!!

@_CorumB Welcome back!

5 months and 6 days later, I’m finally back to 888!

I’ll also share some thoughts that I’ve had observing from the outside, as well as some of my experiences taking care of a newborn including my playlist (I wonder if we have any overlap)!

It’s the last day of March, which means my parental leave is ending soon (back to the office April 17th!). Baby willing, over the next two weeks, I’d love to hear from #energytwitter about what I’ve missed over the last few months.

FERC is hosting the Environmental Justice Roundtable. Watch live now⚡️

We're at an even 6,200 now...guess I should start cleaning it out.

.@Smaczni wins! It's right around 4,000 (we're not playing Price is Right rules here).

Had to go into my email this morning. Anyone want to guess how many emails are sitting in my inbox?
