New York has appointed John Rhodes and Alicia Barton, both strong renewables supporters, to the top positions at its Public Service Commission (PSC) and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) – two bodies that will play a pivotal role in the state’s ambitious renewables and market-reform agendas.
Rhodes will move from his current role as NYSERDA’s president and chief executive to the chairmanship of the PSC, which regulates utilities in the state’s competitive electricity market.
