Danly Confirmed By Senate As FERC Commissioner
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by EC Infosystems, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
The U.S. Senate has confirmed James Danly to join the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as Commissioner.
Danly, who currently serves as the Commission’s General Counsel, will serve the remainder of a term that expires June 30, 2023.
Democrats said that the Trump administration should provide a Democratic nominee to FERC to fill a remaining vacant seat, and Democrats pledged to not act on any future Republican nominees until a Democratic seat is filled
Senate Energy Ranking Member Senator Joe Manchin said that, "I voted to confirm Mr. Danly’s nomination to be a Member of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. I made a commitment to Mr. Danly that I would support his nomination because he is well qualified, and I honored that commitment and voted to confirm him. But as I told my colleagues on the Energy Committee when we voted on Mr. Danly’s nomination, I will not support another Republican nominee, no matter how well qualified, when the next Republican vacancy arises later this year, unless the President sends us a nomination for the vacant Democratic seat as well"
