PSC staff member to fill open seat on commission
Gov. Kelly Armstrong named Jill Kringstad as the Public Service Commission’s newest member Monday afternoon.
Kringstad, the commission’s director of business operations, replaces Julie Fedorchak, who on Friday was sworn in as North Dakota’s sole member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Kringstad’s appointment is effective immediately.
“Having worked at the Public Service Commission for the past eight years, I know the important role our agency plays to ensure our state and nation have abundant, reliable, affordable power and to provide a stable regulatory framework for our state’s vital industries,” she said during a Bismarck press conference announcing her appointment.
