“I have known Willie Phillips for many years, since we were both state-level commissioners working on PJM issues as members of the Organization of PJM States (OPSI) and in other state organizations, such as NARUC.
“Willie has been a good friend for whom I have tremendous respect and affection. He is a dedicated and selfless public servant. As I have said many times, he did an outstanding job as Chairman of FERC. He and I worked together on many contentious issues to find common ground and get things done to serve the public interest.
“We will miss him here at FERC. I wish him and his family the very best for future success – and I am confident he will continue to be successful in whatever career path he chooses.”
Commissioner Phillips served as Chairman of FERC from January 3, 2023, until January 20, 2025. He was sworn in as a Member of the Commission on December 3, 2021.
