The Public Utility Commission announced their new Executive Director late last week.
Starting September 11, Jennifer Berrier of Harrisburg will take over as Executive Director. Berrier previously served as the Pennsylvania Labor and Industry Secretary after being appointed to the position in December of 2020 by Governor Tom Wolf.
Berrier succeeds PUC Executive Director Seth Mendelsohn who served since May 2019 to January 2023. PUC Director of Administration Robert Gramola served as Acting Executive Director since Mendelsohn’s departure.
Berrier has a Bachelor’s degree in political science from York College of Pennsylvania and a law degree from Widener University.
