“I dispute the contention that our work is political and I will point to the over 1,000 orders that we have put out, our bipartisan vote on storage, our bipartisan vote on five LNG orders, our bipartisan vote on a number of pipelines,” and others, he said in an interview. Much of FERC’s electricity market policymaking falls under three of its eight main offices — Energy Policy and Innovation, Electric Reliability and Energy Markets and Regulation. All three have seen their leaders depart since Trump was elected.
Chatterjee is quick to point out that the office heads left either before he arrived at FERC or during the chairmanship of Kevin McIntyre, who stepped down last year. McIntyre died of brain cancer in January. As the ranks of career staffers have thinned, some at FERC have noticed an uptick in the number and influence of political staff. In particular, critics are skeptical of General Counsel James Danly and former chief of staff Anthony Pugliese, neither of whom had substantial energy experience before Chatterjee chose them.
