OPSI elects President Richard Mroz and three additional officers

The Organization of PJM States (OPSI) elected four new members on Tuesday, including the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities’ Board President Richard S. Mroz, who will take on the role of OPSI president.

Mroz was elected along with Vice President Daniel E. Logsdon of the Kentucky Public Service Commission, Secretary John R. Rosales from the Illinois Commerce Division, and Treasurer Dallas Winslow of the Delaware Public Service Commission.

PJM States are those in the area receiving power through the electric transmission service offered by PJM Interconnection, a regional transmission organization.

“I am honored to have been selected to serve as president by my fellow commissioners from public

utility commissions represented in OPSI,” Mroz said. As an interested state commission,

we have, and will continue, to take an active role in tackling the PJM and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission  issues that have substantial impact on the New Jersey ratepayers. I’m excited about the challenges that lie ahead and will work to foster consensus among the OPSI members.”

OPSI has served as an organization of utility regulatory agencies for more than 10 years, covering the 13 states in PJM’s territory, as well as the District of Columbia. OPSI is actively involved in PJM meetings, and coordinates activities such as data collection, issue analysis, policy formation, and individual responsibilities within each regulator’s state boundaries.
