NextEra Energy, Inc., NEE President and CEO Jim Robo issued the following statement following the
announcement that President Obama has nominated Ron Binz as the next chairman
of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission:
"President Obama has made a superb choice in nominating Ron Binz as the next
chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Ron is a proven leader
who recognizes the need for diversity in the U.S. electricity supply and
understands our country needs smart policies to modernize the grid to match up
with today's changing energy mix. Ron has served effectively as chairman of
the Colorado Public Utilities Commission and as an active member of the
National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners. His record of
achievement would serve the country well in leading the FERC."
"Ron would assume leadership at FERC during a period of enormous change for
America's electric utilities. Our companies are addressing such challenges as
grid adequacy, cybersecurity and extreme weather events. Strong leadership at
FERC will help our industry meet these challenges. Our company looks forward
to working with Ron should the United States Senate confirm his nomination."
