EEI is closely tracking the nominations of key leaders to serve in President Trump’s Cabinet. Following their confirmations, EEI issued statements congratulating Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin.

EEI also congratulated Mark Christie on being appointed chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. “Through his experience at the Commission and previously as a state regulator, Chairman Christie understands how essential stakeholder engagement is to building the infrastructure needed to enhance, strengthen, and secure the energy grid,” said EEI interim President and CEO Pat Vincent-Collawn.
