Anthony Eggert was appointed by California Gov. Jerry Brown to the five-member California Energy Commission (CEC), a position he held last year in former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s administration. An engineer by background who previously worked for the California Fuel Cell Partnership and for Ford Motor Co., Eggert was a senior policy advisor at the California Air Resources Board from 2007 to early 2010. The appointment requires confirmation by the state Senate, but appointees can serve for up to a year without confirmation. Eggert’s appointment fills out the CEC, which had been operating in recent months with only four members.
