Senate Votes to Confirm Christie, Clements to Commission

The United States Senate this evening confirmed the nominations of Mark Christie and Allison Clements to join the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, bringing the Commission to its full, five-member complement of Commissioners for the first time in nearly two years. Tonight’s confirmation came on a voice vote.

Christie, Chairman of the Virginia State Corporation Commission, was confirmed to a term that ends in 2025. Clements, a policy consultant for The Energy Foundation, was confirmed to a term that ends in 2024. FERC Commissioners serve five-year, staggered terms.

“I am delighted that our two new colleagues have been confirmed and I look forward to working with them,” FERC Chairman James Danly said.
