President Trump has named David Rosner Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Rosner joined FERC as a Commissioner in June 2024. He has nearly two decades of experience across energy technologies, market design and energy policy issues, both in and outside of government.
Prior to his service as a Commissioner, he was an energy industry analyst for FERC and spent two years on detail to the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee staff.
During his time as a staff member at FERC, he led efforts related to the Commission’s work on electric transmission, fuel security, energy storage resources, and natural gas-electric coordination.
Rosner was previously a senior policy advisor for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Policy and Systems Analysis and an associate director at the Bipartisan Policy Center’s energy project.
The appointment to the chair position is expected to be temporary until the President’s two nominees for FERC, Laura Swett and David LaCerte, are confirmed by the Senate.
It is widely expected that Swett will become the permanent chair once she is confirmed.
