Wednesday, October 8 (Washington, D.C.) — Yesterday, the Senate voted to confirm President Donald Trump’s nominees Laura Swett and David LaCerte to serve as Commissioners at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
Americans for a Clean Energy Grid (ACEG) Executive Director Christina Hayes released the following statement:
“Americans for a Clean Energy Grid congratulates Laura Swett and David LaCerte for their confirmation to serve on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. As they each recognized in their confirmation hearings, building out our nation’s transmission infrastructure is critical to meeting the energy demand challenges presented by artificial intelligence, data centers, and advanced manufacturing. FERC serves a vital role in meeting that moment, and we look forward to working with both commissioners to advance common-sense solutions to promote transmission’s role in the American energy dominance agenda through a reliable, affordable, and resilient energy grid.”
