Happy International Women's Day! #InternationalWomensDay2024
It was a pleasure to speak at today's PermitConnectPA Conference in Harrisburg. I applaud Governor Shapiro for his strong commitment to speed up government and look forward to applying the lessons learned from the conference at the Public Utility Commission.
From my family to yours, wishing all who celebrate a holiday season filled with peace and joy.
Telecommunications access is vital to everyone. I believe it is imperative to continue the Affordable Connectivity Program, and I intend you use my voice at the Commission and through NARUC to advocate for such. communicationsdaily.com/article/2023/1…
Annual winter LIHEAP grants along with various PUC-required utility assistance programs help hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvania households stay connected, safe and warm. I was pleased to mark the start of LIHEAP season today with DHS and my colleagues.
Thank you to Seth Shapiro and the @MyPGW team for hosting today’s Operation Blue Flame emergency response exercise. Interagency collaboration is critical in times of crisis.

Commission rail safety personnel took me on a "field trip" this week. Toured a bridge, an at-grade crossing, and a switch yard. Their knowledge of rail issues is unmatched.
Access to reasonable and affordable utility service must always be maintained. My testimony this week in front of the PA Senate reinforces the Commission's commitment to this goal.
Consumer education is an important part of PUC service. Today I joined Commission personnel to continue that mission at Senator Farry's senior fair.

Took a stop to tour Shell Polymers Monaca in Beaver County. The tour was quite educational - learning about the ethane cracking process, the feedstock utilized, various customer demands, and last but not least... the on-site electric generation facilities.
Attended the @RFirst_Corp Fall Workshop this week in Pittsburgh. Their mission is vital to ensure electric reliability in Pennsylvania and the surrounding region. It was a pleasure to provide remarks detailing the @PA_PUC work on physical and cyber security.
Yesterday Governor Shapiro appointed me as Chairman of the @PA_PUC. I am humbled by this vitally important responsibility. I look forward to working with my fellow Commissioners to instill reliable and affordable utility service throughout the Commonwealth.
Today Duquesne Light provided me a tour of key electric facilities in the Pittsburgh region. These included the new Riazzi Substation along with Pittsburgh Regional Transit's East Liberty Garage, where it charges its new electric buses.
Visited the @pa_oca this morning. It was a pleasure to meet Patrick's entire team. They provide an invaluable service to the Commonwealth and its utility customers.
Electric vehicles represent a great opportunity to spread fixed grid costs over more volume of consumption, but this only works if we manage the fixed grid costs effectively. erienewsnow.com/story/49257576…
PA's Low-Income Household Water Assistance Program is reopening enrollment. @PAHumanServices will be accepting grant applications from July 10 till August 11. dhs.pa.gov/Services/Assis…
The discussions at #MACRUC23 were extremely insightful. It was a pleasure to moderate the final panel discussing the ever-evolving responsibilities of PUCs across the Mid-Atlantic and the country.
It was an honor to provide remarks with my colleague Commissioner Zerfuss at this year's Public Utility Law Conference. @PBICLE

I’ve had the pleasure of working with @Steve_DeFrank now for decades, but despite that (just kidding!!!) I know he’s going to be a fantastic chair of the PUC. No one is better prepared to lead this important board on its highly technical and critical issues. Congrats, friend!
Commissioner Katie Zerfuss & her counsel, Lillian Harris, visited the Pittsburgh area to see new EV infrastructure at @WestMifflinPA, tour the facilities of @DuquesneLight and discuss workforce training, customer engagement & diversity initiatives with Duquesne Light staff.
DLC’s Tishekia Willams joined @PA_PUC Vice Chairman @Steve_DeFrank panel at #MACRUC23 to discuss the news for evolution in utility regulation to meet the changing needs of customers, highlighting priorities including reliability, affordability, and clean energy. #committed2clean
And that's a wrap! @PA_PUC Chair and outgoing #MACRUC23 Prez Gladys Brown Dutrieuille and PUC Vice Chair @Steve_DeFrank helped close today's final session -- thanking more than 300 #utility regulators and stakeholders for visiting Pennsylvania and engaging in great discussions.
