Neil Chatterjee replaced as FERC chairman after promoting carbon pricing

The Trump administration has removed Republican Neil Chatterjee as chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, replacing him with fellow GOP commissioner James Danly. Chatterjee will stay on as a commissioner through the end of his term in June 2021.

The move comes weeks after Chatterjee issued a statement encouraging power grid operators to incorporate state carbon pricing policies into their markets. Chatterjee, previously an energy adviser for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, has become a proponent of addressing climate change.
