The Healey administration has appointed Jamie Van Nostrand as DPU chair, and Staci Rubin and Cecile Fraser as commissioners.
. It’s in charge of transportation and gas pipeline safety. All of those duties taken together means it plays a critical role in whether Massachusetts can meet its ambitious clean energy goals in a fair and equitable way.
In naming Van Nostrand, Rubin and Fraser to the commission, the Healey administration said that’s exactly what it’s hoping to do. “We know how critical it is that the DPU leadership understands that the transition to a clean energy economy is a pocketbook issue and will be thoughtful in how we evolve our grid and economy for the future,” Healey said in a statement. “I have full faith in Jamie Van Nostrand, Staci Rubin, and Cecile Fraser to uphold those values.
Others were pleased to see that Fraser, who was appointed to the commission by Gov. Baker in 2017, will stay on for another term. Joe Curtatone, president of the Northeast Clean Energy Council, said Fraser “was instrumental in developing a regulatory model to unleash solar development in Massachusetts and I look forward to her leading DPU through this transition.”
