As Chair, Jamie Van Nostrand put the “public” back into the Department of Public Utilities. He put ratepayers and household budgets first and positioned Massachusetts to continue the transition off fossil fuels. He’s on to his next adventure but his shadow is long and his achievements, indelible. A number of us gathered recently to honor him and express our profound thanks.
