President Biden Nominates Judy W. Chang for FERC Commissioner

Asian Americans in Energy, the Environment and Commerce (AE2C) applauds President Biden for his nomination of Judy W. Chang as a commissioner to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). As an independent federal regulatory agency, FERC plays an integral role in shaping our country’s energy policies.

“Judy will be an excellent FERC commissioner,” said Robert Gee, president of AE2C. “Her vast experience in both the public and private sectors of the energy industry would allow her to provide excellent leadership in energy regulatory and financial issues profoundly affecting all Americans.”

The former Undersecretary of Energy and Climate Solutions for Massachusetts, Chang is an energy economist and policy expert with more than 20 years’ experience in regulatory and financial issues, particularly as they relate to investment decisions in transmission, clean energy and storage. If confirmed, Chang would be the only Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) to sit on this commission and one of only three since the FERC and its predecessor agency were created in the 1930’s.

Chang has served as a valuable resource to AE2C and was a featured speaker in AE2C’s Massachusetts Chapter Launch event in Boston in November 2022.
