FERC Summer Interns

This summer FERC welcomes 46 interns and volunteers to the Commission. The interns

come from around the country—from Las Vegas, Nevada to Pensacola, Florida. The

interns work in various program offices throughout the Commission and range from

undergraduate students to PhD candidates.

“To the summer interns, I say thank you for your work at the Commission this summer,

Chairman Chatterjee said. “I appreciate your interest in public service and in working for

the American people. I hope that your experience with us this summer will be rewarding

and educational.”

During their time at FERC, interns have the opportunity to gain first-hand experience in a

federal agency while learning more about the energy industry and gaining exposure to the

Commission’s work.
