He also has testified and provided comments on key regulatory and legislative matters to various state and federal agencies – including the U.S. Senate and House, the Pennsylvania General Assembly, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), among others. His leadership on these issues was recognized by City & State Pennsylvania, which named him to its 2023 Energy & Environment Power 100 list.
