Time is a flat circle at the Public Service Commission. In November, almost exactly two years after Mayor Muriel Bowser nominated former Department of General Services director
Greer Gillis for a spot on the obscure three-member body that regulates public utilities, she tapped
Lorna John to replace her.
To the frustration of many working to ensure the District meets its renewable energy and sustainability goals, neither Gillis nor John have specific experience in utility regulation, ratemaking, or the energy sector. Gillis had plenty of experience in engineering, and as DGS director, oversaw construction projects. Her lack of pertinent utility experience frustrated only a handful of D.C. councilmembers and she was confirmed by an 8–5 vote in 2018.
